The station was constructed in 1909 for the Southern Pacific Railroad and is built of masonry. It is one of the oldest continuously operating passenger rail stations in the U.S.[4] Beginning in 2004, the station and the surrounding area underwent an $11.3 million restoration that was funded with a combination of federal, state, local, and Amtrak money.[4][5] The Oregon Department of Transportation was in charge of the project.[5] The station was rededicated on April 18, 2006.[4] The City of Albany is in the process of restoring the former Railway Express Agency building nearby as offices for the city's transit system.[6]
Of the seven Oregon stations served by Amtrak, Albany was the fourth busiest in FY2010, boarding or detraining an average of approximately 105 passengers daily.[1]
