Huntingdon Station is an Amtrak rail station located approximately 95 miles northwest of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania and 30 miles east of Altoona, Pennsylvania at 4th and Allegheny Streets in Huntingdon, Pennsylvania. The station is located at the south end of the borough, along one of the major streets into Huntingdon (4th Street), just north of the Juniata River. Huntingdon station is only served by Amtrak Pennsylvanian trains, which operate once per day in each direction.

The station is actually a shack-like but structurally sound building. There is no ticket office at this station. Though most of the Pennsylvanian route between Harrisburg and Pittsburgh runs through rural, sparsely populated areas, Huntingdon is the only stop between the 2 aforementioned cities that does not have bus service, either local or intercity, of any kind within 1 mile of the station.
