BUILT ORIGINALLY AS A STAGECOACH DEPOT IN 1866, IT EVOLVED INTO A RAILROAD STATION IN 1883 TO CARRY FREIGHT AND PASSENGERS ON THE CARSON & COLORADO RAILROAD LINE, KNOWN LOCALLY AS THE “SLIM PRINCESS”. IT SERVED THE INDEPENDENCE COMMUNITY FROM 1883 UNTIL IT WAS CLOSED DURING THE GREAT DEPRESSION ON JUNE 29, 1932.
