A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF RESTORATION. THIS OLD BUILDING DATES BACK TO THE TURN OF THE 1900s AND HAS BEEN RESTORED AND BROUGHT TO FRUITFUL USE FOR WE HOPE ANOTHER 100 YEARS.
ATCHISON, TOPEKA, AND THE SANTA FE. THIS IS THE OLD DEPOT IN SOCORRO. NEWSPAPERS,
THE ALBUQUERQUE JOURNAL AND TRIBUNE, AND THE EL PASO POST, WERE ALL PICKED UP BY THE PAPER BOYS AT THE DEPOT. COMBINES, TRACTORS, CARS, TRUCKS, WERE THE SIGHTS THAT YOUNG BOYS WOULD RUSH TO SEE UNLOADED. SAM ZIMMERLY STATION MASTER WOULD ALWAYS BE VERY WATCHFUL TO SEE NONE OF US WERE IN DANGER.
