Middletown Station

Both the old train station and the amtrak are hated by the people of middletown. By far the most unprofessional people because none of them live here. If you use these trains, trust that the locals dont care for your company in our town.

Best part? Free parking. Worst Part? Very little parking.nIf you arrive after 7 on a week day forget about getting legal parking. Some people park wherever they can (grass, driving lanes of the lot, etc...) but they ticket all those vehicles. If you can get parking, then this is a great jumping off point for an Amtrak trip. Easy access just steps away to board the train and small town location means easy traffic navigation. Sure beats $30 parking in Harrisburg and the related traffic mess there as well. This would be the best Amtrak boarding point in the entire region if only there was sufficient parking to meet the demand. (BTW: the lot does not seem to get plowed when it snows so you have to factor that into your planning as well during the winter.)

We took the RIDE THE TRAIN WITH SANTA with the family. Santa gave each child a gift and then checked his list twice to make sure everyone got one. He then came back through and took his time taking pictures with each family. The only downside was the accordion music was slightly loud. Overall good time.

Basic train station. No public restrooms.

Simple but effective, easier parking then hbg station
