The Eagle depot on the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad. Taken in the 1910s. Two unidentified individuals are seen near a baggage cart. A portion of a train is visible on the right. A sign above the baggage cart reads, "Western Union Telegraph & Cable Office."
The Eagle Depot was owned and operated by the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad and served as an express and freight stop. Local
farmers would bring their crops to the station where it would be loaded into freight cars. There were many railroad agents employed at the depot over the years, including Fred Martinez, who was described as "the most popular agent which the Rio Grande has ever had at this station," and Bud Jordan, the station's last agent. The depot was officially closed on June 16, 1967. The following year, it was dismantled following the purchase of the building by a Mr. Rivera from Wolcott. Rivera used the lumber from the building to build on his property in Wolcott.
