The depot was built in 1963 to replace an earlier depot that was sold and moved to another site. In fall 2021, Amtrak completed a more than $4.1 million project to enhance accessibility at the Wolf Point station. The scope of work included construction of a new 650-foot long, 12-foot-wide concrete platform, installation of new signage and lighting, and relocation of a wheelchair lift enclosure. Exterior improvements around the depot encompassed upgrades to the accessible parking area, a connection to the street and walkways between the parking and depot. [3]
