Hamilton station opened on February 21, 1999 next to a former American Standard factory that had been turned into an office complex.[1][3]
The Hamilton station received national media attention in 2019, when it was reported that commuters were regularly locked out of the station building in the early mornings. The building, which houses a ticket office, waiting room, and Dunkin' Donuts shop, is to open at 4:30 a.m. every day with the opening of the donut shop; a Dunkin' Donuts employee is contracted to open the doors of the building at that time. The ticket office opens later each day, at 6 a.m.,[4] and the platforms and a small enclosed waiting area are always kept open.[5][6]
Station layout
The station has two high-level side platforms connected by a passageway over the tracks. Amtrak's Northeast Corridor lines bypass the station via the inner tracks.
