The station, platform, and parking are owned by BNSF Railway with the station facilities owned by Amtrak.[2][3] Amtrak rebuilt the station in 2012 to be accessible to people with disabilities by adding a 110-foot (34 m) concrete platform, a ramp, platform lighting, a wheelchair lift enclosure and accessible parking spaces.[2] The old Great Northern Railway station building was removed in 2013, leaving only the platform and parking area. The Great Northern station was known as Fort Browning.[4]
