Got to the station at 4, to be early, currently standing in the rain to not miss the amtrak. Train arriving at 5, but doors are locked and hours are posted saying 4:00-6:00 daily? WRONG

Well, this isn't the nicest station I've been to, but it isn't quite the worst either. 

Boarding and unboarding the train is done from street level, and there is a little waiting room inside the building with about 20-30 seats. There's also a small parking lot that was pretty full from the look of it. Aside from that, there really aren't any amenities. 

In fact, it's a lot easier to list the features that this station DOESN'T have:

No Restrooms 
No ATM
No Ticket Office 
No Lounge 
No Elevator
No Quik-Trak kiosk 
No Payphone 
No Wi-Fi
No Lockers

That said, this station does have train tracks, so it gets the job done.
