Inscription. 'All Aboard!' was a phrase that built Carrollton. Constructed in 1924 at the SW corner of Broadway and 'the Cotton Belt' railroad, this historic Union Depot served 3 intersecting railroads during the era of train travel in the early 1900's. The last of 3 depots built in Carrollton, it served both freight and passenger trains until passenger service ceased in 1935. In December 2010, it again presides over a new era in passenger travel as a reminder of a time when 'Rail was King.'

Erected 2010 by Carrollton City Council.
