The building depicted is in the style of a railroad station, and is located near the Amtrak stop, but is used by the Chamber of Commerce -- it is not the Amtrak station. There was formerly a shack that sufficed for a stop, but as of January 2008 there are no Amtrak facilities, not even a bench.

Due in part to limited passenger rail service, relatively small community size, and poor waiting-area amenities provided for passengers, Benson's station continues to be one of the least-used stops on Amtrak's national system.
