Texas Railroad Depots - Greenville

Greenville was served by the Missouri - Kansas - Texas (MKT, "Katy") Railroad; the Kansas City Southern Railway; the Texas Midland Railroad; and the St. Louis Southwestern ("Cotton Belt") Railroad.

 

 

The Missouri, Kansas and Texas depot still stands in Greenville, and is one of the oldest surviving depots in the state of Texas. The upper part of the depot was an open air atrium. This part of the depot was damaged by a tornado in the 1950's and removed.

 


This depot was located on the Cotton Belt railroad where the railroad crossed Lee Street east of the courthouse.  It was the joint depot of the Cotton Belt and Texas Midland Railroads. The post card below incorrectly identifies it as the Texas Midland depot.
