Flagstaff station

1

Flagstaff station is an Amtrak train station at 1 East Route 66 in Flagstaff, Arizona. The station, formerly an Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway depot, doubles as a visitor center and rental-car pickup and is located in downtown Flagstaff. Northern Arizona University is located nearby, as are the Lowell Observatory (where Pluto was discovered), Sunset Crater, the Walnut Canyon National Monument, ski resorts and other attractions. It is also the closest Amtrak station to Grand Canyon National Park.

History

AT&SF built the depot in 1925, opening on January 5, 1926. The station's elevation is 6902 ft above sea level. Adjacent is the 1886 solid-red sandstone freight depot originally built by the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad. Both the former Santa Fe Depot and the Atlantic and Pacific Depot that it replaced are contributing properties to the Railroad Addition Historic District. In October 2024, the city was awarded a $5 million federal grant to build a second platform serving the south track and modify the existing platform for accessibility.
