Lexington station 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 in October.[1][2]

As part of the Depot District Redevelopment, a permanent station was planned to begin construction in 2023 with a 2026 completion, which would allow daily passenger service.[3][4]
