The Winslow Amtrak station compound is located at 501 East Second Street in Winslow, Arizona. The buildings are part of the La Posada Historic District.
Contents |
The station compound contains the La Posada Hotel which was designed in the Mission Revival and Spanish Colonial Revival architecture styles by Mary Jane Colter in 1929. It was built in 1930, and is one of the last of a series of hotels built across the Central and Southwestern United States in a collaboration between Fred Harvey and the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway Company.
The hotel was closed in 1957, but restored and reopened as a historic hotel several decades later. The historic La Posada Hotel is mentioned in the Lost Dogs song Goodbye Winslow on the album Old Angel about traveling US Route 66.
Of the eight Arizona stations served by Amtrak, Winslow was the sixth busiest in Fiscal Year 2010 (FY10), boarding or detraining an average of 14 passengers daily.[2]
