It served the following railroads: "The Denver & Rio Grande; Denver, Texas and Fort Worth (later the Colorado and Southern); Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific; Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe; and the Missouri Pacific Railroad." The building to the north was the Express Office, which is now a railway museum. "In 1892, the Depot handled 51 trains, 18,615 passengers and 164,718 pieces of baggage per day. During this year, there were 103,114 tickets sold, worth $568,639. By 1917, the Pueblo Depot was one of the busiest railroad stations in Colorado. In addition to a bakery, a restaurant employed 33 waitresses. The Depot served approximately 160,000 passengers a year. Passenger service ended in April of 1971." [WayMarking]
