The Station, formerly the AT&SF depot, doubles as a Visitor Center, and is located in the midst of the shops, cafes, and boutiques in downtown Flagstaff. Northern Arizona University is located nearby, as are the Lowell Observatory (where the planet Pluto was discovered), Sunset Crater, Walnut Canyon, ski resorts, and other attractions. Flagstaff is also the Amtrak stop for the Grand Canyon.
BNSF Depot Receives Renovation Award. The Arizona Main Street Association awarded BNSF, the City of Flagstaff and other partners a "Best Historic Renovation" award for the renovation of the 1889 solid-red sandstone freight depot.
The renovation of the Flagstaff Visitors' Center/Amtrak depot is complete. The original waiting room, which still maintains wooden benches, also doubles as the Visitors' center, with a well-staffed information desk, and many racks of brochures to plan your Northern Arizona vacation.
The evening before, and the morning after, the recent ARPA picnic near Flagstaff found this station busy with passengers and families waiting for the Southwest Chief. The station was well-lighted and seemed a comfortable place to wait for a train. Surely a few of these passengers had arrived to the station early and walked through the many shops of downtown Flagstaff just a few steps away.
