Burlington Northern (the company absorbing the Great Northern and the Northern Pacific) ran the final passenger trains (Badger and Gopher, both to Minneapolis and St. Paul) through the station.[2] The Northern Pacific Railway ran local unnamed service to St. Paul and Minneapolis[3] and service to Staples, Minnesota,[4] into the later 1960s.
Passenger service ceased upon the formation of Amtrak in 1971, but resumed between Minneapolis and Superior in 1975.[5] Wisconsin Governor Patrick Lucey spoke at the station dedication.[6] Superior was served by the Arrowhead and later the North Star between Chicago and Duluth.[5] Service ceased in 1984.[7] The depot continues to exist as a business.
