Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

It’s not often that the local Amtrak train station features as a tourist attraction, but the La Crosse Amtrak Station is a little different. The station was built in 1927 by the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad and still serves the public today. The station forms part of Amtrak’s Great American Stations project, which aims to preserve and restore historic train stations across the US. The historic building has a beautiful interior with original marble surfaces, passenger benches and a wooden ticket counter. More modern additions include vending machines and accessible restrooms. Today the station is still serviced by Amtrak’s daily Empire Builder service which runs across the American West from Chicago to Seattle.
