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.[1]

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.[2]

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

Trains included:[3]

  • 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)
