Benson station is a train station in Benson, Arizona. It is served by Amtrak's Sunset Limited and Texas Eagle, which pass through Benson 3 days a week in each direction.[2] There are no facilities for Amtrak passengers other than a small metal shelter. The nearby Southern Pacific Railroad Depot replica building has been used as a tourist information center.[3] The building is also the location of bus stops for Benson Area Transit and Greyhound.
The station is a flag stop, served only when passengers have tickets to and from the station. The platform is being rebuilt in 2024 as part of Amtrak's effort to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act.[4]
