The Santa Fe railroad depot located at 201 S.W. Keeler in Bartlesville is a beautifully renovated building, originally built in 1909. It was first renovated in 1946 and used as a depot for passenger service up until 1971. Phillips Petroleum bought the depot in 1983, renovated it, and donated it to the Chamber of Commerce in 1998.
In 1956, the AT&SF No. 940 was purchased by the City to prevent it being scrapped. It was moved to the depot in December 2009, in time for the 100th anniversary of this depot.
