Western Railroad Discussion > Parker depotDate: 11/01/24 07:37 Parker depot Author: PVSfan I have heard that the former Santa Fe depot along the AZ & CA RR has been demolished.
Any confirmation of that? Date: 11/01/24 07:39 Re: Parker depot Author: PVSfan Date: 11/01/24 07:40 Re: Parker depot Author: PVSfan I rode that Parker-Peavine trip that Let's Travel Tours operated in 1985.
Date: 11/01/24 10:52 Re: Parker depot Author: BobB Does anyone know why the depot was demolished? I've been to Parker a few times (including a Williams to LA steam trip with a night at Parker) and it didn't seem to be in bad shape. I believe that Parker has the A&C headquarters, so they must have some alternative office space to use instead.

Date: 11/01/24 12:01 Re: Parker depot Author: callum_out The real news is that they need more yard tracks.

Sad news for the depot but on the other hand possibly more freight traversing the line.
