Depot |
| Description: |
For many years, Tucumcari was an important junction between the Southern Pacific and the Rock Island. The SP from El Paso connected with the CRI&P line to Kansas City and Chicago to form the Giolden State Route, and the Rock Island also had a second line that ran east through Amarillo to Memphis which it called the Choctaw Route. Up until 1962, the SP had a branch that ran northwest from here to Dawson, NM. |
