The Prescott Santa Fe Railroad Depot was built in 1907 and still stands today. You may drive by it each day on your commute. It is at the 'Depot Marketplace' at Sheldon and Cortez. Who knew?
I was told about it years ago, but after watching Steve McQueen in Junior Bonner, I had to know more.
The Prescott and Arizona Central Railroad (P&AC) came down from Ashfork. It traveled the Peavine trail, and to the Depot, and on over the train bridge next to the Marriot Hotel. See aerial with train tracks depicted, adding soon...
