South Torrington Railroad Station, Torrington Wyoming (Homesteader's Museum).
Above is a fisheye view of the South Torrington Railroad Station. I used this view as its a long station, and to get the entire station in otherwise I would have had to walk across the highway, which was busy.
This station is unusual in that it was designed by noted National Park lodge architect Gilbert Stanley Underwood in the Mission Revival and Spanish Colonial Revival Style. Originally built in 1926, it was extended in order to accommodate both passenger and freight service, with its original purpose being reflected in the fact that it remains right across the street from a sugar refinery.
As with so many other depots, this one is no longer used by the Union Pacific, but it's well-preserved and now used as the Goshen County Homesteader's Museum.
