The Hamilton station received national media attention in 2019, when it was reported that commuters are regularly locked out of the station building on 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., [6] and the platforms and a small enclosed waiting area are always kept open. [7] [8]
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.
