Newton station is a train station in Newton, Kansas, United States, served by Amtrak's Southwest Chief train. It is the nearest station to Kansas' largest city, Wichita.
The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway opened to Newton in 1930. The current station building was constructed in a Tudor Revival – modeled after William Shakespeare's house in Stratford-on-Avon – in 1929–30. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.[3] In 2021, Amtrak proposed to extend the Heartland Flyer to Newton to connect with the Southwest Chief.[4]
