History

The station building was designed by Kenneth MacKenzie Murchison for the Pennsylvania Railroad and built in 1916. Amtrak took over intercity passenger service in 1971. The cancellation of the Three Rivers in 2005 (leaving just the Pennsylvanian) marked the first time in Johnstown's railway history that the town was served by just a single daily passenger train.
The station had a high level platform until 1981, at which point it was removed for freight train clearances.
In November 2021, Amtrak announced plans for a renovation of the station, then expected to begin in October 2022. The work will include replacement of the existing island platform and headhouse with an accessible platform and headhouse with an elevator, filling of the existing baggage tunnel, and track work. , construction is expected to last from late 2026 to late 2028.
