Williston is a train station in Williston, North Dakota, served by Amtrak's Empire Builder line. The brick station was built in 1910 by the Great Northern Railway and is located at the southern end of Williston's downtown. An interior and exterior restoration, begun in 2010 and costing almost $2 million, has returned the station to its original look.
With the recent opening of new oil fields in North Dakota in the 21st century, many oil production workers now also board and detrain in Williston, adding additional passengers to the route. Ridership at the station had a particular spike in Amtrak's 2012 fiscal year, when ridership grew by almost 82 percent to 54,324 from 29,920 the year before (though 2011 ridership had been partly degraded due to flooding along the route). Patronage tapered off in 2013 and 2014, however, partly due to worsening on-time reliability of the train during that period. As of the end of fiscal 2014, Williston has been North Dakota's busiest Amtrak station, and it has held that position since 2011 or earlier.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 6.8 square miles (17.5km2), of which 0.019 square miles (0.05km2), or 0.27%, is water.
Demographics
As of the census of 2000, there were 2,297 people, 836 households, and 580 families residing in the city. The population density was 379.0 inhabitants per square mile (146.3/km²). There were 915 housing units at an average density of 151.0 per square mile (58.3/km²). The racial makeup of the city was 73.44% White, 22.81% African American, 0.78% Native American, 0.74% Asian, 0.44% Pacific Islander, 1.09% from other races, and 1.09% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 3.57% of the population.
There were 836 households out of which 31.8% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 42.9% were married couples living together, 22.0% had a female householder with no husband present, and 30.6% were non-families. 25.6% of all households were made up of individuals and 12.7% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.56 and the average family size was 3.03.

S1 – Ep 92 – Travelling through the Great Karoo to Williston!
We spent a wonderful evening on the farm at Sonnevleg Self-catering, but the time came to hit the road through the Great Karoo to Williston. It was really awesome to see how much rain they've had recently in the district. The farm owner was understandably very happy and relieved. Not to mention all the little lambs we saw as we were leaving, really cute. Crossing the Sak River as we entered Williston, previously known as Amandelboom, was amazing, especially seeing how much water was flowing. We filled the car up with fuel and then realised we also needed fuel and had a wonderful meal at Manna Restaurant. #DustBugs #adventuretravel #southafrica #williston #sonnevleg #sakriver #mannarestaurant #southafricavlog #amandelboom

S1 – Ep 94 – Drove through Williston and checked into Karoohuis!
When we returned from the corbelled houses, we drove through the streets of Williston. It was interesting to see the large stands and loved that some roads between the houses were still gravel. Then we checked into our accommodation at Karoohuis. We just relaxed that evening, so that we could get an early start. The next morning. we had breakfast and bought some famous Karoo lamb for the braai that evening. Then it was time to look for gravel roads heading in the direction of Middelpos. #DustBugs #adventuretravel #southafrica #williston #mannarestaurant #southafricavlog #amandelboom #karoohuis #corbelledhouse #middelpos

There’s a sound deep inside And it feels just like thunder Like the rushing of white water And it’s bursting in your head There’s a fist around your heart And it’s grip is getting tighter And the sweat upon your face is running Burning in your eyes There’s no one there to help you now This time you’re really on your own There’s no one there to show you how You have to find ... find your own way home Caught in the spirit of the age I rode along the wave Accomplice to the avarice The master and the slave I played my role so easily Wore my costumes well And slapped and stabbed the backs of players Playing the kiss-and-sell And in this this life of give and take You know it’s better to receive And at the offer of an outstretched hand I’d ask what can you do, what can you do for me Ambition take me by the hand And guide me through the shifting sands Lead me to that promised land Where everyman’s a king Oh, feet of clay! Don’t fail me now There has to be a way some how Two steps forward, three steps back Break my heart, an art attack! Show me everything I lack, things I lack ... Seems to me, this seemed to be The only way that finally Tight-closed eyes would every see Cracks begin to show Swim up-stream, against the tide Choke on faith and swallow pride To find a new self, deep inside That I don’t know I don’t know! Parsons and priests will look after your soul But only you can exercise your self-control And there are people who make history While most read history books Whilst some attract admiring glances Most are scared to look And if, just by some miracle, we see the light I hope to God it’s bright enough To highlight wrong from right And will the signs for ‘up’ and ‘down’ Be clear enough to show? And will we know the difference? I don’t know! I don’t know! And now those days have gone, Consigned to someone else’s memory Embrace the changes still to come Exploring every possibility No shame the glory days have gone! Farewell to broken dreams and chances missed Farewell to shallow smiles and hollow hearts And long forgotten promises And now it dawned, I watched the sunrise From the window of another day I felt the shackles that had bound me, Heavy, lighten, break and fade away And if the future is an open road I think I’ve learned to read the signs And if the future is an open book I’ve learned to read between the lines
