Duffields is a passenger rail station on MARC Train's Brunswick Line, in the community of Duffields, West Virginia. [1] Since it is located in West Virginia, the station is maintained by the West Virginia State Rail Authority rather than by MARC itself. Between 1976 [4] and 1981 [5] this station was served by Amtrak's Shenandoah which traveled between Washington and Cincinnati. [5]

In 2015, a study began to look into the feasibility of replacing the station with a new station in nearby Ranson, West Virginia. [6]
