Location of Spokane Intermodal Center within Washington

The Spokane Intermodal Center is an intermodal transport facility located in Spokane, Washington, United States. Built in 1891 for the Northern Pacific Railway, the historic facility now serves as a station, re-fueling, and service stop for the Amtrak Empire Builder, as well as the Greyhound and Trailways station for Spokane. The Empire Builder provides service daily between Chicago, Illinois and Spokane before continue on to both Seattle, Washington and Portland, Oregon.

The intermodal center is unique in the operation of the Empire Builder in that at Spokane, the westbound train is split into two sections; one heads to the King Street Station in Seattle and the other to the Union Station in Portland. Of the cars in the arriving westbound train, the last four Superliner cars (the Sightseer Lounge, two Coaches and a Sleeper car) go to Portland. The eastbound trains use the reverse operation, joining in Spokane before continuing on to east end of the line at the Chicago Union Station in Chicago. (The next eastbound stop is in Sandpoint, Idaho and the next westbound stops are in Ephrata and Pasco.)
