This
was a stop on the 110-mile line between Childress
and Pampa. The railroad opened in
July 1932, also probably the time the depot was built. Burlington
Northern closed the line years ago, and the tracks have been pulled
up and sold for scrap. The Depot remains unchanged on the inside and
mostly unchanged on the outside, and at one time still had a sign
for a "colored" waiting room.
