History edit
For many years, Cleburne was the site of a major locomotive backshop of the Santa Fe Railroad, and many shop buildings can be seen on the east side of the track. The 1898 two-story brick depot was scaled down to one floor and ultimately demolished during the 1990s to make way for a road expansion project.[3]
Cleburne became the northern end of the Trinity and Brazos Valley Railway in 1904,[4] with the portion from Teague now abandoned.
Cleburne's current intermodal station, built in 1999, serves Amtrak trains and is the office for Cletran,[1] the local bus transit. In recent history, the station has become less prestigious and the surrounding buildings have become mostly abandoned.[5] The station is unstaffed,[1] and all tickets must be purchased in advance.
