The Chemult Station is an Amtrak train station in Chemult, Oregon. It is not staffed and only consists of a platform structure and a warming shelter, and is the subject of much criticism as being too small.[2][3] Trains must make a double stop at the station because the cement platform is so short.[4]

Amtrak Thruway Motorcoach offers connecting service to Bend, Oregon.[2]

[edit] Proposed New Station

 This article or section contains information about a planned or expected future railway station.
It may contain information of a speculative nature and the content may change dramatically as the construction and/or completion of the railway station approaches, and more information becomes available.

It is proposed that a new Chemult station be built on the site. The new station would cost $537,500 and will resemble a log cabin. It will include washrooms and a kiosk.[2]
