The primary rail service at this station for most of its existence was the "Empire Builder", named to honor Saint Paul-based mogul James J. Hill who constructed the Great Northern Railway, and whose nickname was "The Empire Builder". Westbound trains head for Spokane, Washington (and then split before continuing on to either Seattle, Washington or Portland, Oregon) while eastbound trains head for Chicago. There were several intermittent stops between. The next westbound stop for the "Empire Builder" was in St. Cloud and the next eastbound stop was in Red Wing, both in Minnesota. About one-eighth of "Empire Builder" passengers boarded or arrived at this station.
