Craig Depot


Most recent photo we have, October 2016.



Built in 1917, the Craig Depot (in Craig, CO) is an example of early 1900s architectural style. The Moffat Line and the Craig Depot served as the hub of activity for transportation of livestock, coal, supplies, and people to and from an isolated area. It was the end of the Moffat Line; loss of financial backing forced David Moffat to end his dream to run from Denver to Salt Lake City there. In 1985, the D&RG RR shut down the depot.

The building is deteriorating and it's proving difficult to acquire it from Union Pacific before demolition. Funds are needed to acquire it and move it.

4/13/2022: Sadly, the UPRR recently tore down the Craig Depot. We tried so very hard to save that depot. We made at least seven or eight trips to Craig for meetings with everyone who might have an interest in saving it. Bret Johnson, Doug Cohn, Wayne Kemp, and Jim Jordan lobbied the Town Managers, City Council, UP's Greg Larson, Manager of Real Estate, CPI, and a great many towns people tried to find away to save it. But, we lost. What a shame.
