Ardmore Station is an Amtrak station in Ardmore, Oklahoma, served by the Heartland Flyer. The station was built by the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway in 1909, although some sources claim it was built in 1916.
It is located downtown at 251 East Main Street, and is fully wheelchair accessible. Passengers are not allowed in the depot as it houses the offices of Downtown Main Street, despite the fact that taxpayer funds were used in its restoration.
Of the five Oklahoma stations served by Amtrak, Oklahoma City was the third busiest in FY2010, boarding or detraining an average of approximately 25 passengers daily.[2]
