Pueblo Union Depot is the historic railroad station in Pueblo, Colorado. It was built in the Richardsonian Romanesque style in 1889–1890 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. It is located within the Union Avenue Historic Commercial District.

History

Initially the station was served by the Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad, the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway, the Colorado & Southern Railway (which was acquired by the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad in 1908), the Missouri Pacific Railroad, and the Chicago Rock Island & Pacific Railroad. Today the Union Pacific Railroad and the BNSF Railroad share use of the tracks, and the depot is privately owned. Regular passenger train service no longer exists, though there are proposals such as Front Range Passenger Rail, which would provide service to Denver and Colorado Springs. In addition, the depot has been proposed to operate on Amtrak's Southwest Chief.

Presidents Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson arrived at the depot, as did vice-presidential candidate Joe Biden and presidential candidate John Kerry.
