Add to My List Check Off

Built in 1912 and historically named; Arizona and New Mexico Railway Passenger Station located on US191 Coronado Blvd (Previously Route 666). This historic Train Depot was originally built to accommodate what was predicted to be a population growth of 20,000. Although the anticipated growth never came to be the train depot was still busy in the beginning however as the economy worsened and the price of copper fell so did the need of the train depot until it finally shut down in 1932. The depot was used as a restaurant for a number of years, where many locals will tell you love was found. After a number years of being vacant the Arizona and New Mexico Railway deeded the building to the Town of Clifton. Over the years the Town has worked on restoring the damage from the vacancy, floods and vandals. Today it houses our Visitors Center and Community Center.
