Rating the station, not the train. The station serves its purpose, but Airline executives in charge of Amtrak removed the station attendant, checked baggage, and bicycle service along with it, thus only a 4 of 5. There are restrooms and a water fountain, with heating and a/c. The building is clean and maintained. https://www.amtrak.com/stations/hun --Amtrak does not publish timetables, and removed them from their website in early 2020. Amtrak's Westbound Cardinal departs at 9:51pm on Sundays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
