Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railroad, (Burlington-Rock Island Railroad), BNSF, Texas, Waxahachie- 2022

The depot was probably built by the Trinity and Brazos Valley Railway that later became the Burlington-Rock Island Railroad, a line jointly owned by Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, and the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railroads. The BRI operated out of the depot for a number years, with both the CB&Q and the CRIP running passenger trains over the line. The line was later taken over by Fort Worth & Denver Railroad, and then Burlington Northern Railroad. The restored combination station, waiting room has a hip tile roof with modified flared eaves and brackets. The façade of the waiting area is adorned with finished quoins and window and door surrounds. The most dominant feature of the station is the three story octagonal turret with battlements-- giving the building the appearance of a fortress. A similar styled depot is down the line in Corsicana, Texas. To view a photograph of the Corsicana depot go to: www.flickr.com/photos/23711298@N07/7525273468/
