History

The current waiting shelter for Amtrak service in Cumberland sits on the original site of the Queen City Station. This was a 174-room hotel constructed by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad in 1871 with a ballroom, a 400-seat dining room, and gardens and fountains. The station was demolished in 1972, an act which spurred conservation efforts for architecturally and historically significant structures.

Current service

Amtrak, the national passenger rail system, provides intercity service to Cumberland under the Capitol Limited route which runs between Chicago and Washington, D.C.
