The station was built as Hastings Burlington Station in 1902. Thomas Rogers Kimball designed it in the Spanish Colonial Revival style for the Burlington Railroad. ^[4] It was renovated in 1966 and 2000 and was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. Part of the building is leased to commercial tenants. ^[5]

Amtrak spent $10 million to upgrade both Hastings station and the station at Holdrege. At Hastings, Amtrak installed an 860-foot (260 m) platform, bringing it into compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. At the cost of $4.7 million, Amtrak also renovated the waiting area in the 1902 depot. Both stations attained LED lighting, wheelchair lifts and new signage. ^[6]
