Grand Central Sanderson Station

[Greenline]

I might be the only person to have taken Amtrak to three of those stations in FY23. Those being Sanderson, Lordsburg, and Schriever.

Sanderson was an incredibly nice and cute town in my opinion. I love to take Amtrak to small towns, and Sanderson was a gem. It wasn’t that hard to get around without a car. Almost everything is under a 15 minute walk. However, Sanderson does not have any full service grocery stores, fine dining, or other normal town amenities. Preparation is essential.

I am restoring the old bank building across the street from the Sanderson platform. I plan to make the bank lodging available for Amtrak rail fans touring the conntry. Should be ready in a year or so, Thank you for giving Sanderson a tour.

Is there any restaurant in Sanderson?

There's a couple I think are OK:
"The Ranch House" and "Eat 'em Up"
plus a Coffee Shop for Breakfast I cant remember the Name of!

The 2 Cafes serve Burgers,Fries,Chicken Fried,Nachos Steak etc. Nothing Fancy, but reasonable.

Yeah I've always been kind of puzzled that both CONO and Crescent seem to underperform in Mississippi and Alabama in spite of daytime service and relatively cheap fares. They mostly serve small / smallish towns but the overall population density is still far greater than most of the Great Plains and Mountin/Intermountain West. But traffic at many of these MS/AL stations is pretty lukewarm at best.

The Crescent seems to have been cancelled on its southern portion quite frequently in recent years for track work, to the point that it almost stretches the definition of daily service.

It is reassuring to know that starvation is not the only option in Sanderson.
