Passenger service to the station began in January 1927; almost 20,000 people attended the station's grand opening, and the new station was considered "one of the largest and finest stations west of the Missouri River".

The Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri Valley Railroad Passenger Depot, also known as the Chicago and North Western Railway Passenger Depot and presently as the Douglas Railroad Interpretive Center, was built in 1886 in Douglas, Wyoming to accommodate traffic on the Fremont, Elkhorn and Missouri Valley Railroad's (FE&MV) terminus at the newly built town. The depot was built as a fairly small, cautious investment in a possibly ephemeral frontier town. Immediately following the completion of the depot Douglas saw an epidemic of typhoid fever and the worst winter in a generation, and the railroad decided to push on to Casper for its terminus. The town's population declined from 1600 in 1886 to 900 in 1888. By 1891 Owen Wister reported that Douglas had a population of about 350. However, by 1910 Douglas had 2246 residents and hosted the Wyoming State Fair. The presence of the fair stimulated rail traffic, while the FE&MV merged with the Cheyenne and Northern Railway in 1903. In 1905 oil development started. In the 1950s coal mining began for the Dave Johnson Power Plant and the railway expanded its Douglas facilities to accommodate the traffic, closing the original depot and building a larger facility. The depot was acquired from the railroad's successor, the Chicago and North Western Railway, by the city in 1990.

The Downs station, nominated as the Downs Missouri Pacific Depot, is a historic railroad depot building at 710 Railroad Street in Downs, Kansas. The Missouri Pacific Railroad depot was located at a junction with lines radiating to Atchison, Lenora, and Stockton. The Central Branch of the Union Pacific Railroad completed the line from Atchison to Downs in 1879. However, this branch line better served the needs of the Missouri Pacific, which purchased the line in 1895. By the early 1900s, there were 18 trains a day serving Downs, which had a significant railroad presence with a ten stall roundhouse and associated railroad facilities. In 1916, the wooden depot burned down, necessitating the construction of the present brick depot.
