Additional Description: The Kelso Depot was one of several train stations built by the Union Pacific Railroad in the early 1920s. Although these stations were all built at remote desert locations, the UP designed them in the ornate Spanish Mission Revival Style to compete with the Santa Fee Railroad's Harvey Houses. Today the Kelso Depot serves as the Visitor Center for Mojave National Preserve.
