The Amtrak station in Bingen-White Salmon consists of a platform and shelter adjacent to a structure built in 1992 to house BNSF maintenance-of-way crews. Although the station bears the name of both communities, it is actually located in Bingen; White Salmon is about a mile away on a bluff overlooking the Columbia River. Shortly after 1930, the Spokane, Portland and Seattle Railroad renamed the station Bingen-White Salmon, and Amtrak continues to use that designation. Today, both communities are separately incorporated, but work jointly for services and utilities.

In April 2024, Amtrak completed a $3.2 million upgrade project at the Bingen-White Salmon station to provide customers with a more accessible and comfortable experience. Working with the city of Bingen, Amtrak advanced a series of accessibility improvements in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The most notable upgrade was replacing a small 10-foot-long platform with a 255-foot-long span of new concrete, eight inches above top of rail, that provides a smooth surface for wheeled mobility device users and all passengers. The project also included installation of new lighting and a ramp connecting to the public right of way. Due largely to Congressional investments, the improvements are part of Amtrak’s commitment to creating safer, accessible facilities across its National Network through its ADA Stations Program.
