The Denmark Amtrak station is a train station in Denmark, South Carolina, United States served by Amtrak, the national railroad passenger system. It was originally used by the Seaboard Air Line and the Southern Railway. Amtrak initiated service to the community on October 29, 1978, via the Champion (New York-St. Petersburg). According to Amtrak NEWS, the company's employee newsletter, Denmark was added to the schedule because there was no stop between Columbia, S.C., and Savannah, Ga., although Denmark and the surrounding area had a sizable population.[2]
