In 1903, the last tracks were laid on the Santa Fe Central Railway, joining the Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe and the Chili Line as a valuable economic link to Santa Fe. Today the Railway Gardens trace the path of the old rail lines, designed to remind visitors of side-by-side rail cars. The Circular Ramada echoes the form of a historic railroad turntable excavated nearby.

Historia del Patio Ferrocarrilero
En el ano 1903, los ultimos rieles fueron puestos completando el Ferrocarril Santa Fe Central. Junto con las lineas Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe. Y Chili, fue otro enlace economico importante para Santa Fe. Hoy dia los Jardines de la Via Ferrea delinean las viejas vias ferreas. Disenados con el proposito de hacernos recordar los vagones estacionados en filas paralelas. La Enramada Circular repite la forma de una historica rotunda de mantenimiento que fue excavada cerca de aqui.
