Clovis station

The Clovis station, also known as the Clovis Depot, was built in 1907. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.

History

The station was built by B. Lantry & Sons in Spanish Revival style, and is one of only three buildings of this style built by the Santa Fe Railway.

Notably it served long distance Chicago to California trains that took the route through Wichita, Kansas; northwest Oklahoma and Amarillo in northern Texas. This was in contrast to the more northerly route which went through Dodge City, Kansas and Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Trains included:

• California Limited (Chicago – Los Angeles) (to 1954)
• California Special (Clovis – Temple, Texas) (to 1967)
• Grand Canyon Limited (Chicago – Los Angeles) (to 1968)
• San Francisco Chief (Chicago – San Francisco) (1954–1971)
• Scout (Chicago – Los Angeles, with secondary section to Oakland) (to 1954)
