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]
