History
The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway (ATSF) built the depot in 1907. The station's elevation is {{convert|3335|ft|m}} above sea level. The station has been a contributing property to the Kingman Commercial Historic District, which has been on the National Register of Historic Places since 1986.{{cite web|url={{NRHP url|id=86001153}} |title=National Register of Historic Places Inventory/Nomination: Kingman Commercial Historic District |author=Cindy L. Myers and James W. Garrison |date=June 1985 |publisher=National Park Service}} and {{NRHP url|id=86001153|title=accompanying 21 photos|photos=y}} Like many depots constructed by the ATSF, the building exhibits characteristics of the Spanish Colonial Revival style of architecture, particularly in the roofline's curvilinear gables.{{cite web |url=http://www.greatamericanstations.com/Stations/KNG/Station_view |title = Kingman, AZ (KNG) – Great American Stations}} In early 2011, the city of Kingman finished a multi-year restoration of the depot. The work was funded in part through a $471,500 federal Transportation Enhancements grant and approximately $150,000 in federal Community Development Block Grants. Following the rehabilitation, the depot houses a passenger waiting room and a railroad museum.{{Cite web |url=http://www.whistlestoprailroadclub.org/railroad%20museum.htm |title=Whistle Stop Railroad Club |access-date=2013-01-20 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121127210305/http://www.whistlestoprailroadclub.org/railroad%20museum.htm |archive-date=2012-11-27 |url-status=dead }}
The depot is the third station in Kingman, and is built of poured concrete. The first station was destroyed by fire, as was the 1901-built "fire proof" one, which burned to the ground in 1906.{{cite web|url=http://route66times.com/l/az/kingman-amtrak-station.htm |title=Kingman Amtrak Depot |access-date=December 24, 2022}}
It is served by Amtrak's Southwest Chief's {{convert|2256|mi|km}} route from Chicago, Illinois, to Los Angeles, California, with one eastbound and one westbound stop daily.{{cite web|url=https://kingmanhistoricdistrict.com/buildings/railroad-depot/index.htm |title=Kingman Historic Buildings: Railroad Depot |access-date=December 24, 2022}}
