The Belen Cutoff (now BNSF's Clovis sub) was built in the 1903-1908 time frame by Santa Fe's subsidiary Eastern Railway of New Mexico. Depots in the larger towns were erected to a common pattern, and five are still standing - from west to east Mountainair, Vaughn, Fort Sumner, Melrose and Clovis. This is the Melrose depot. |
