[?] I have books on Santa fe depots that they are still incomplete for me to make a HO scale model I do have photos and over all measurements but it is not much help. I like to find the ones for the LaJunta, Colo., Raton,NM, Trinidad,Colo., and Albuquerque,NM.
There is an architectural elevation of the ALBUQUERQUE depot from one side on the website of the Santa Fe Railroad Historical and Modelers Society, www.atsfrr.org.
A couple dozen photos published various places but that is the only architectural drawing I know of on which to base a model.
LA JUNTA don’t know of any scale drawings.
RATON 1881 first depot, scale drawings in Santa Fe Modeler, MayJune 1979 p.5
RATON ca.1910 Moorish depot, scale drawings in Santa Fe Modeler, September October 1985 p.12
TRINIDAD don’t know of any scale drawings.
Good luck.
Does anyone know of pics of the Streator, Ill. station? Any view would be welcome but I am specifically looking for mid 50’s era.

Thank you so much for the imformation, about the the depot in Streator, Ill. , I have live there, there is a book that shows a picture of it. The book still avaible from Kachina Press, Santa Fe 1940-71 in Color Volume I.
The photo in the book above is taken some where in the late sixties or early seventies but I remember this was the same in 1962 when I was very young. The red brick building, it looks to be about 18 X 32 feet single story.
The Santa Fe Railway had very interesting depots from their framed to the adobe sytle makes them an interesting piece on any layout. From a very modest to the big and grand stations.

No offense, but being interested in a railroad with a lot fewer research resources on the market than ATSF, all I can say is, you’re not looking hard enough.
Damned near EVERYTHING about the ATSF has been documented and published. Start with the historical society mentioned above.
Amen!

Are you wanting photos and drawings of the original LaJunta station or the Metal building that stands today?

There are copies of the Alvarado Hotel architecture elevations available from the Kansas Historical Museum in Topeka, Kansas. I recently completed an HO model of the hotel and if you can somehow obtain a copy of January’s 2004 "New Mexico’ magazine there is an article and several pictures of the model.
