Minot station

Minot station is an Amtrak train station in Minot, North Dakota, served by the Empire Builder route, which connects Minneapolis, Minnesota, to Havre, Montana. It is the busiest Amtrak station in the state and serves as a 20-minute refuel and crew change stop. The station is located near the Minot Public Library, City Hall, and Downtown Minot.

Originally built in 1905 by the Great Northern Railway, the station featured a brick exterior and gabled roof. In 1975, it was modernized with a stucco exterior and flat roofline. Recent renovations include restoring the original brick exterior and gabled roof in 2008, followed by interior renovations completed in fall 2010. However, flooding in summer 2011 damaged the main waiting room, leading to its closure for repairs. A temporary waiting room opened in November 2011.

Further improvements were made in fall 2012, including repairs to the tile floor and wall paneling, completed by April 2013. On National Train Day that year, an open house was held at the depot. In September 2013, 15 wood benches were installed in the main waiting room, funded by a $30,000 grant from the Minot Area Community Foundation.

The platform, tracks, and station building are owned by BNSF Railway. While Minot City Transit does not directly serve the station, buses operate on nearby Broadway and 6th Street and can be flagged down at street corners.
