Amtrak boarding area is shared with BNSF rail workers area. It is basically picnic tables outside the BNSF offices. If it is your first time coming here, don't park in front of Garces, that is a far walk. You'll have to park near the BNSF office building (You'll see the AMTRAK marquee hanging on the side). BTW, its mostly parallel parking for Amtrak passengers. I love that this Needles station is here, which makes it convenient for my friends and I. However, it sucks that there is no indoor facilities (such as restroom, or shelter from rain, etc.) read more
