Prince Amtrak station

Prince is an Amtrak station in Prince, West Virginia, served by the Cardinal. Because it is on the CSX (originally Chesapeake & Ohio Railway) mainline while the unincorporated area of Prince itself is not, this station serves as the main depot for the Beckley area.

The Chesapeake and Ohio Railway built the first facility in 1880 that was enlarged in 1891 to serve both freight and passengers. In 1942, the C&O president, Robert R. Young, saw a need for "a stylish, streamlined, and efficient passenger rail system" that lead to the development of the current station.
