Santa Fe Depot

History:

The Santa Fe depot is one of the oldest buildings in Ardmore and is the permanent location of the historic Mercy Train.

After the terrible explosion that occurred in Ardmore in 1915, the Santa Fe Depot was constructed  where Locomotive 1108 or the Mercy Train originally arrived. The train carried aid for the destruction of the explosion.

When the Mercy train retired in 1954, the City of Ardmore moved the beloved train to the Hardy Murphy Coliseum. It rested there until September 7, 2017, when the locomotive was moved to the Santa Fe Depot downtown Ardmore.

AMSA helped raise over a million dollars to fund the restoration of the Santa Fe Depot in 2015.
