History
This single-story facility was built in 1968 and is shared with the BNSF Railway. Using monies that Amtrak received under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, the Creston depot will gain a new wheelchair lift, enclosure, and pad. In addition, a new sidewalk and curb cut will be installed from the parking area to the platform. The estimated cost of the total project is $29,000.
Creston was established in 1868 by the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad (now BNSF Railway) which chose this location as a division point. By the late 1800s, Creston was a major rail hub and had more than 50 trains passing through on a daily basis.
Creston was so named because it sits at the crest of the split between the basins of the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers.
Amtrak does not provide ticketing or baggage services at this station.
Creston is served by two daily trains.
