Have you seen the latest addition to the Texas Tech brand?  If you didn't catch this locomotive on the Lubbock and Western rails between Lubbock and Seagraves or Whiteface, you might see it at the Wolfforth depot.  The university-themed engine is owned by Watco Company which took over the West Texas and Lubbock Railway.  Read more of the story here

train depot

 

If it weren't for the cars in the parking lot, this train depot would look much like it did when constructed in 1925.  Today the Lubbock County Historical Commission held its meeting here.  The dilapidated train deport was purchased in 2011 and relocated to Wolfforth, undergoing renovations but maintaining its heritage.  It is an excellent example of alternative use historical buildings as it currently serves as the business offices for the Lubbock and West Texas Railway.  The depot was built according to Southern Pacific's Standard Plan #3 dictating the floor plan and layout of the waiting room, agent's office and freight room -- down to the paint colors of colonial yellow and bronze green with red roof.
