The Humboldt station is a former railway station in Humboldt, Saskatchewan. It was built by the Canadian Northern Railway along the Winnipeg to Edmonton mainline. The 1+1⁄2-storey, wood-frame, railway station was completed in 1905.[1] The last CNR passenger train (Nos. 9 and 10) ended service in 1963 with service restored in 1978; a Via Rail Railliner served the station in 1980.[2] The building was designated a historic railway station in 1992.[3]
