Amtrak serves the Tucson depot three times a week with the Sunset Limited and Texas Eagle.
The depot was built in 1907 by the Southern Pacific Railroad. It was designed by the SP's architect, Daniel J. Patterson who designed a number of depots during the same era, including the San Antonio Station. In 1998, the City purchased the entire depot property. Restoration of the main depot building and the three adjacent buildings to their 1941 architectural style was completed in 2004. Old Pueblo Trolley on August 20, 2009 extended their historic streetcar line to the Depot.
Of the eight Arizona stations served by Amtrak, Tucson was the second busiest in FY2010, boarding or detraining an average of approximately 60 passengers daily.[2] Note that Tucson is served (and has been served in 2010) only by three trains a Week in each direction.
The Southern Arizona Transportation Museum is located in the old Records Vault building.
