Athens station is a historic railroad building in Athens, Ohio, proximate to Ohio University. It was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on January 11, 1983 as the Athens B & O Train Depot. The tracks of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad went past this site, before they were removed and the trackbed made a parking lot. This building is currently under lease to a private concern. In most of its years of service, it was a stop on the Baltimore and Ohio's direct route between Washington, D.C. and Cincinnati. It served the daily B&O trains, Diplomat (St. Louis - Jersey City, NJ) and National Limited (St. Louis - Jersey City, NJ). In the last years leading to B&O's yielding routes to Amtrak in 1971, the B&O's Metropolitan (shortened and rerouted: Cincinnati - Washington, D.C.) made stops at Athens station. The station was used by Amtrak's Shenandoah (Cincinnati - Washington, D.C.), operating between 1976 and 1981.
