First time rolling into Roanoke Virginia on an Amtrak train into Roanoke station. Like ever. Quite…read morefun and it was an interesting and quiet time. It was cheaper to fly into Washington DC and taking the Amtrak to Roanoke than flying directly in and out of Roanoke regional airport. And so, I took the Amtrak line direct from Washington DC Union station to Roanoke Virginia. It was nice and nonstop. It was a nice and warm March 2026 day in Roanoke, when I arrived. Upon arrival, we disembarked the train and onto the train platform. The Roanoke Amtrak station was nothing more than a stretch of concrete for travelers to walk on after they arrived and signage that welcomed the train and its passengers to the train station. There was no actual building or other facilities that told you what train was departing or arriving. It was just a train station stop in Roanoke, Virginia. Even though Roanoke was a sizable city with its own airport, it felt like it was a small town in the middle of Southwest Virginia. It was a gateway to rural southeast West Virginia and the surrounding areas, but it was the last station where the Southwest Chief train terminated. No train officials to direct you to anywhere, because it wasn't a place where you can transfer to another train. It wasn't the end of the line here in Roanoke. It was a little bit disappointing to see where nobody really cared, since you were on your own. Unless you were traveling with friends or family, you were on your own. The only thing about riding Amtrak is that it can be a very nice experience, especially with the prices. For a 5 hour morning train ride, I spent only $25.00. Quite nice actually. A bit disappointing that only the basic signage that you were in Roanoke and the railroad train tracks ended here. It was nice traveling on a train but the end result was a bit uneventful for sure. The overall experience here on the Amtrak train Southwest Chief from Washington Union station to Roanoke Virginia was very nice and quiet. The Roanoke train station was very basic and very quiet when we arrived on a basic March 2026 afternoon, especially for it being in a downtown area. Once I departed the train with my luggage, I looked around and saw the Roanoke train station signage and was happy that I made it to Roanoke, safe and sound. I looked around for anyone that could point me in the right direction, but only thing I had was my phone and GPS. No security or persons to escort me out of the area, no nothing. It was almost like a public bus terminal but without benches for people to sit and wait. It was like that. Kind of interesting but not really. No restroom facilities or even WiFi or anything. Just a simple space where Amtrak trains can safely park and let their passengers depart. The ambiance was nice and quiet that Wednesday afternoon. I ended up finding my way to the local area bus stop exchange 1/2 mile away, which I walked it with my luggage. After debating not to wait 1 hour for the bus to take me to grab lunch, I walked 2 miles towards my Airbnb for the evening and grabbed a late lunch and dinner around there. The Roanoke Amtrak station is located physically at 55 Norfolk Ave NE in downtown Roanoke. The Museum of Transportation History and the 3rd Street local Roanoke Valley Transit station is nearby. Bookings are typically made online for Amtrak, so best to do that. My time at the Roanoke Amtrak station was brief, knowing that any way out possible was either by walking or calling an Uber for fast service. I decided to walk it because I wanted to save money at the time. For the most part though, it was an interesting experience to arrive at an Amtrak station that did not have a building to house Amtrak station operations, even in a small city town like Roanoke. Just got off the train and walked out of the area and simply into downtown Roanoke. Just like that. It was cool though. No need to pass thru any security or anything to be able to get on or off the train. If you want to, you can use the local bus service to get you to the 3rd street station and walk 0.5 miles to here to wait for your Amtrak train out of Roanoke. If you prefer, there's always walking, Uber, and Lyft at your disposal. Roanoke is a walkable city but usually it's more comfortable if you took the local bus service or ride the local bus for pure enjoyment and convenience. The Amtrak train itself was comfortable and easy enough to sleep upright if you are sitting. They have outlets to charge your devices while traveling on the rails. 5.0 stars for the overall experience. Cheap and reliable transportation. Definitely worth considering versus flying. Support local! A+

The staff were…read morehelpful and friendly and the seating upstairs comfortable (I'm 6'4", and sometimes that's an issue). When we were seated, we were offered a drink and a bag of potato chips. After that, they handed out the boxed lunches we had pre-ordered. We each had the veggie wrap. We both thought it was outstanding. Because of the large bag of chips we had just had, we each ate only half of our wraps and took the other half home for dinner. I was impressed with the flavor, freshness and quality of the wrap. It came with a very good pasta salad and a chocolate brownie (excellent). The beverage service was well done, with staff coming by periodically to offer drink refills. A variety of soft drinks and coffee were complimentary throughout the ride. And we got to take our glass home as a souvenir. The ride itself is scenic for part of the way. Leaving Staunton out into the countryside did involve a fairly long stretch where there were trees on both sides, but you couldn't see into the distance. Then things opened up. There was periodic recorded commentary about the history of the area, about trains and some about the mountains and other sites we passed. Halfway through the trip, we stopped and they explained that half of us in the dome needed to get our things and go downstairs for a few minutes so they could reverse all of the seats (so we wouldn't be riding backwards on the trip back.). That process seemed to take over 20 minutes (a long time), but it did make the outside viewing on the trip back much more enjoyable. The ticket isn't cheap, but it's a good experience, the staff are nice and hardworking and the food (what we ordered) was quite good. If you are looking for a train ride with incredible views, you likely would prefer the Amtrak options, including between Denver and Emeryville, CA. But this is a pleasant diversion for a few hours. We went mid-April. I suspect the experience is different in the fall and at other times of the year.
