Railroad close to Union Station, 1960

Since the railroad had been built in El Paso in 1881, the city was an important stop, connecting the East with the West of the United States. Goods were brought in, processed and distributed to locations in the U.S. or in Mexico. Passengers were transported as well. As a major trade stop, El Paso grew and its industries diversified, ranging from mining and smelting, cattle ranching and marketing to fabrication of jeans and cigars. In 1906, six American railroad companies and the National Railway of Mexico had pooled their resources to build the Union Depot (background), thus making El Paso the first international station in the United States, with service to and from Mexico. The depot’s original red bricks were painted white during the 1940s. The original red exterior returned in the early 1980s during an extensive restoration project.
