Description
The historic Santa Fe Depot, built in 1903 by the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe Railway, stands as a monument to Raton’s Spanish heritage. Like many of the Santa Fe railroad depots, the one-story, stucco and brick structure was designed in the familiar Spanish Mission Revival style which appears throughout New Mexico. The Raton train station, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, includes a tower bearing the town’s name.
Brightened by the early morning sun and framed by a dark, threatening sky, the depot takes on a golden-hour glow that further enhances it stucco exterior. It's an early autumn morning and there's not much of a stir yet at the Raton Depot.
