It also housed a Harvey House. Locomotive No. 5000 is cited as an outstanding representation of modern steam-locomotive design in transportation.","narrative":"Amarillo's Santa Fe Depot, completed in 1910 at 307 South Grant, served the Panhandle and Santa Fe Railway, part of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe system. Designed by railway architect E.A. Harrison, it has stuccoed pebble-dash walls, red tile roofs, arched loggias and Spanish mission-inspired details. It was built in linear form beside the tracks and included waiting rooms, baggage space, offices, and a Harvey House with dormitory rooms for Harvey Girls. Additions were made between 1912 and 1931, and later changes ended meal service in the late 1940s. The depot reflects Amarillo's growth as a rail and shipping center. Nearby stands locomotive No. 5000, nicknamed Madame Queen, a 2-10-4 steam engine built in 1930 by Baldwin for fast freight service in New Mexico and used on the Santa Fe system. At the time of nomination the depot was vacant, sold to a builder planning a restaurant, and the locomotive remained in original condition.","period_of_significance":"1900-","architect_builder":"Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe Railway Company/E.A.
