The more famous Santa Fe trains such as the Super Chief, Chief and El Capitan didn't stop at Mazon.[2] Only the local mail train called on the station; a motor car in the waning years.[4] Even though passenger service has long left Mazon, the building still stands and is used by BNSF maintenance workers.[3][5]
