Denver & Rio Grande Railroad Antonito Depot

Listed on the State Register of Historic Properties, the 1880 D&RG Antonito Depot is significant for the native stone masonry that distinguishes it. It also played a key role in the establishment of the town by the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad. For over sixty years, the depot was the junction point for the "Chili Line" to Santa Fe, New Mexico and the railroad's San Juan Extension connecting Alamosa to Durango and Silverton. As the western-most station accommodating both narrow and standard gauge trains on the San Juan Extension, the depot was an important terminal for freight, passenger, and package services.
