Grand Canyon Depot
Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona
built 1910
Designed by architect Francis W. Wilson and completed in 1910, the Grand Canyon Depot is the oldest wooden depot and the only train station in a U.S. National Park. Still a functional depot, it serves as the northern terminus for the Grand Canyon Railway. While today it functions as a tourist attraction, in years past it was also used to transport ranchers, livestock, water, and all the supplies needed to build Grand Canyon Village.
The trains that run to the Grand Canyon Depot are steam engines. Today, they run on waste vegetable oil that is processed and cleaned by a recycling company. |
