The train station in Staples, Minnesota on Amtrak's daily Empire Builder service was built in 1909 by the Northern Pacific Railway, it's still used every day


The Northern Pacific Depot and freighthouse in Staples, Minnesota are significant as the sole surviving structures of what were originally extensively developed yard facilities at the railway’s division headquarters. The railway dominated the development and the economy from 1889 until well into the twentieth century. Located on the main line of the Northern Pacific line, the Staples depot is also significant as an extremely well-preserved example of the type of work produced by staff architects of the railway.
