 The "Cardinal" originally stopped at Hamilton regularly, but poor station conditions, low ridership, and inconvenient arrival/departure times caused Amtrak to convert it into a flag stop in November 2004 and discontinue the stop altogether a year later, although it still passes by the station without stopping.In 2020, the city of Hamilton was trying to develop a plan to prevent a planned demolition of the station by its owner CSX as part of a track modernization plan.The city is considering purchasing the building and moving it several blocks to Third Street and Sycamore Street.
