These are all the train station buildings in the U.S.A. that I have seen in person (that I remember). There are 37.
One — Albuquerque — is gone (burned down), but rebuilt; three — Del Mar, Needles and Redlands — are abandoned or nearly, and the rest have all been refurbed and reused.
One preservationist said that the way to preserve a building is to use it.
