In 2017, the Grand Canyon
Railway announced they would be discontinuing their shuttle that connected this station with their station and hotel in Williams, forcing the station to close on January 1, 2018. To accommodate passengers requiring a connection to the Grand Canyon, Amtrak introduced a new
410:
route (trains 42 and 47). Both
Williams stations closed on April 30, 1969 following the Santa Fe's discontinuation of passenger services to the Grand Canyon and Phoenix via the Peavine. The station building at Williams Junction remained standing for a few years following its closure, but was
422:
route to connect with Grand Canyon
Railway services. The new station opened on August 2, 1999. Unlike its predecessor, the modern Williams Junction had no station building or facilities, and no access for private motor vehicles. Passengers could only access the Williams Junction station using an
397:
as the connection point between main line transcontinental services and Santa Fe trains to and from the Grand Canyon (trains 14 and 15). The station officially opened on
December 18, 1960. Williams Depot remained open for the
427:
shuttle operated by the Grand Canyon
Railway. The collection and drop-off point was the Grand Canyon Railway Hotel adjacent to the refurbished Williams Depot, now the southern terminus of the Grand Canyon line.
