Sandusky station is an Amtrak station in Sandusky, Ohio. Located at 1200 North Depot Street, the station consists of an uncovered platform on the north side of the east–west tracks, a small parking lot, and two buildings. The former Railway Express Agency/baggage building is boarded up, while the main building has a small, remodeled waiting room for Amtrak passengers as well as offices for the Sandusky Transit System and North Central EMS. The station is served by the Floridian and Lake Shore Limited routes, both of which pass through Sandusky in the middle of the night. Because the station has only one platform, eastbound trains switch to the usual westbound tracks to pass the station.
