Lexington is a seasonal Amtrak station serving a former freight house in Lexington, North Carolina. It is served by Amtrak's Carolinian and Piedmont and is only open during the Lexington Barbecue Festival.

The station operates out of a temporary platform near a former Southern Railway freight house, which is now the Lexington Farmer's Market. The freight house itself is used for festival activities, and is located along a pair of spur tracks. A third spur track is located between the main tracks and the side along the freight house. Though Amtrak gives the address as being at "Center Street at the railroad tracks," it's actually located around the corner along South Railroad Street. Center Street is located along a bridge over the tracks northeast of the freight house.
