Does anyone know if the Train station is still standing in Sandpoint?? What a great station, hopefully it is still operational too.

The former NP Sandpoint station is still standing and serves AMTK trains #7 & #8 nightly. I think the former GN and UP stations have been removed.

Sorry never been there & all I know about Sandspoint is it is a interchange point for the UPRR. [:o)][:D]

At least when I was in Sandpoint last year, the ex-GN station was still standing, as was the UP station dowtown, though the track is gone. UP trains now use the former GN route through the north end of Sandpoint (also used by the Pend O'reille Valley Railroad) to a new connection back to their home rails.
