Topeka station is a train station in Topeka, Kansas, United States, served by Amtrak's Southwest Chief train. The station was built in 1948 by the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway as a replacement for the former Topeka Harvey House, which itself was opened in 1878 as part of the original Santa Fe depot and remained open until 1940.[3] The existing station was remodeled by the BNSF Railway in 2006.[4] From 2015 to 2019 the station has been, on average, the second-most-frequented Amtrak station in Kansas; however, in 2019 it fell behind Lawrence into third place.[5]
