Union Depot[edit]

@Renelibrary: You updated this article to note that it was originally called the Fort Worth Union Depot. Do you have a reference for that? Neither the nomination narrative on ATLAS or the current owner's history section mention this. http://fortworthgazette.blogspot.com/2014/07/lost-1880s-history-fort-worths-little.html implies that the Union Depot was a different, older (1889) building, as does The Railway and Corporation Law Journal: A Weekly Record of Current Corporation Law, Volume 4 (1888). The former may not be a reliable source, the latter probably is. I can't say one way or the other, but the Union Depot name isn't supported by any of the currently given references.

@Generic1139: You could be correct in your doubts. The Official Guide of the Railways, August 1936 gives two different stations for Fort Worth. The present one served the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad (aka Rock Island), the Frisco Lines, the Santa Fe and the Southern Pacific. The other one served the Fort Worth and Denver Railway, the Missouri–Kansas–Texas Railroad and the Missouri Pacific.Dogru144 (talk) 22:30, 25 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
