On static display, next to the station, is Great Northern Railway steam locomotive #2584, a 4-8-4 "Northern" type S-2 Class, which served the station while it was in passenger service. It has been on display there since May 15, 1964. Nearby is a sculpture representing "U.S. – Canada Friendship" and a statue of James J. Hill, the man for whom the Empire Builder is named and the developer of the Great Northern Railway.
