Union Pacific RR built this passenger (1916) and freight (1920) depot near downtown Salina KS to replace 5 separate depots from different railroads in town. It was therefore both the Union PACIFIC Depot and the Union STATION Depot -- clear as mud?

"Salina, Kan., Awarded Membership in Union Pacific's Train Town USA Registry
Built to replace five different depots, Salina's Union Station was built in 1916 and was to serve all of the Salina railroads. It sported red brick, a Spanish-style roof and a large control tower. Union Pacific currently uses the depot as a district office. Opened in 1920, the Union Pacific Freight Depot served the Union Pacific and downtown Salina until the 1970s when it was closed." [end]
The depot hosts NGS benchmark JF1036 P 167.
