The former station burned down 15 years ago.  If the town is interested in restoring Amtrak service, they should build a new station.  There was a NewsWire article a few months back:

I've been wondering will the city of Emporia, KS will have their railway depot return to service and see Amtrak come into town again?  I sure hope that the Emporia Railway Depot sees service again.  If not, it'll be very sad.
