The Union Pacific Train Depot was utilized to accommodate passenger service until 1983. While passenger service resumed in the 1990's it was discontinued again shortly thereafter.

The City of Evanston acquired the depot and completed the full restoration in 1990. Today the depot is utilized for meetings, weddings, special events, and family gatherings. Cargo trains still roll past the building, reminding those who enjoy the building of times past.
