Now Open! As the northernmost stop, the Santa Fe Depot serves
residents and visitors of Santa Fe.The new Railyard development offers restaurants,
retail stores, galleries, museums, the Santa Fe Famers’
Market and 13 acres of open space including a park, plaza
and pedestrian promenade.
The Rail Runner’s northern terminus is
marked by bustling activity – an active farmers market,
restaurants and cafés, and a range of retail offerings. The
50-acre mixed-use redevelopment of former industrial
buildings and land owned by the city is managed by the
nonprofit Santa Fe Railyard Community Corporation. About 37
acres of the land is set aside for a planned 500,000 square
feet of mixed-use commercial development, while 13 acres are
permanently reserved for recreational activity.
Currently, more than 87 percent of the
developable land is leased and 11 new buildings have been
completed at the Santa Fe Railyard. The city and the
Railyard Corp. have approved plans for plans for 12
additional new buildings, including a multi-screen movie
theater and live-work studios. There are 13 existing
buildings at the Railyard, all of which are currently in
use. Additionally, the City of Santa Fe has leased part of a
state office building adjacent to the Rail Runner depot, and
is redeveloping it as a multi-modal transit hub for
commuters and visitors using the train.
Parking is available for a fee at the
parking structure located off of Manhattan. NOTE:
Please do not park in the Tomasita's parking lot. Cars
will be towed from this lot.
This station is served by shuttles connecting the New
Mexico Rail Runner Express to destinations in the Downtown
Santa Fe area like the Plaza, State Capitol and government
offices.
Downtown Santa Fe is also accessible from the South Capitol
Station using Santa Fe Trails Routes 2 and 4.
The symbol for the station
– inspired by the first locomotive that pulled
into the capitol city, February 9, 1880. This
icon represents the same AT&SF train (Atchison
Topeka & Santa Fe Railway Company) that created
a bustling Railyard in the 1940's and is doing
so again with the New Mexico Rail Runner
Express.
