Santa Fe, NM: Santa Fe and Rio Grande Depots

Santa Fe: (Satellite, 153 photos)

Rio Grande on the left, and Santa Fe is on the right

Santa Fe is left of center, and Rio Grande is on the right. But the original depot part of the Rio Grande building is hidden by the restaurant additions.

ALL Aboard with the Godshalk's posted four photos with the comment: "From a couple of weeks ago when we were at the Albuquerque Balloon Festival. So here are the two stations in Santa Fe NM that are literally right next to each other. They were nice looking station too. Didn't get to go to any of the other stations nearby. Maybe when we go back next year in July, I will get out to more of them. Even riding the RailRunner from Albuquerque was a nice ride as well."
Colin Harding: Used to be a great Mexican restaurant, Tomasita's, in the old Rio Grande narrow gauge station across the yard from the Santa Fe station.

1952/53 Sante Fe Quad @ 24,000

Both the Santa Fe and the Rio Grande branches terminated in this town. The Santa Fe route still exists, but most of the other branch is gone. So I got an older map to see the other route.
