Founded in 1776 as a Spanish supply station for nearby Mission San Xavier del Bac. Today, Tucson is a city of over 300,000, the second-largest in Arizona. It is built on the banks of the Santa Cruz River, subterranean except in the rainy season. Tucson is located in a broad valley, surrounded by mountains; the Santa Catalinas on the north, the Rincons on the east, Santa Ritas on the south and the Tucsons on the west.

The Tucson Amtrak station is a full service, staffed facility located in the former Southern Pacific station. Pay telephones are located outside station.
