The station was temporarily closed from May 20 to August 25, 2021, after desert sandstorms caused sand drifts near the station, burying the tracks and making it unsafe for passengers.[5][6] The station temporarily closed again on March 28, 2023, and had other temporary closures in 2024.[7] As of 2026[update], Amtrak warns that service to the station may be suspended without notice due to sandstorms.[8]
By March 2024, modification of the platform for accessibility was planned to be complete later in 2024.[9]
