El Paso Union Depot is an Amtrak train station in El Paso, Texas, served by the Texas Eagle and Sunset Limited. The station was designed by architect Daniel Burnham, who also designed Washington D.C. Union Station. It was built between 1905 and 1906 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1971. History The station served as a transfer point for several railroads. The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe ran a train north to Socorro, Belen and Albuquerque. The National Railways of Mexico operated a train, "El Fronterizo", numbers 7 & 8, south to Ciudad Chihuahua, Chihuahua in Mexico. The Southern Pacific Railway operated trans-continental trains west to California, and east to Louisiana via Texas. The Texas Pacific and then the Missouri Pacific Railroad operated trains to Fort Worth, Texas. Present In addition to Amtrak service, the station is served by Sun Metro local buses at nearby stops. There has been intermittent talk of resurrecting streetcar service across the border to Ciudad Juarez since the last trolley rolled in 1974. The station's office space are occupied by the Texas Tech College of Architecture, which opened in 2013. Sun Metro was formerly headquartered in the space until it moved in 2014.
