The old Kent BN Train Depot is a small non-descript building now used as a BNSF office and parking lot with a tar platform located a block south of today's Sounder station. (Auburn was a more frequent and recent stop for south Seattle suburb access). The station has not received service in the Amtrak era (since at least 1971) so I don't know when the last train would have stopped there. The stop is a non-descript but historic partially exposed brick building with a gabled roof, chimney and cream-colored exterior wall. It is still owned and used by BNSF with "No Trespassing B.N. INC." signs around the parking lot that surrounds the station and crowded with employee cars. The depot also has a long concrete platform that runs for almost the entire length of the station's location between the grade crossings of Gowe and Meeker Streets with the parking lot along Railroad Avenue.
