Hutchinson station

Hutchinson station is a train station in Hutchinson, Kansas, United States, served by Amtrak's Southwest Chief train. Hutchinson station was originally a Victorian structure built in 1897 that was replaced by a more contemporary brick depot in 1950. Both buildings were built and owned by the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway. The original station included The Bisonte, a former Harvey House. From 2015 to 2019 the station has consistently been the least-frequented Amtrak station in Kansas.[4]
