The Sanderson Amtrak station is a flag stop train station in Sanderson, Texas, United States served by Amtrak, the national railroad passenger system.
Since at least 2007, Sanderson has been the least-used Amtrak stop in its national system. An average of fewer than one passenger per day boarded or detrained at Sanderson in FY2010.[2]
A new effort to save the SP Depot at Sanderson is being made by the Sanderson Depot Association. The present owners of the station have set Aug. 15, 2011 as a deadline for the end of discussion. If a plan and funding to move the depot are not in place by that time the owners will no longer give consideration to any group and the depot will be demolished.
