    Topeka station is an Amtrak train station in Topeka, Kansas, United States, served by the Southwest Chief train. The station was built in 1948 by the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway as a replacement for the former Topeka Harvey House, which was in use from 1878 to 1940.[3] The existing station was remodeled by the BNSF Railway in 2006.[4]
