Eureka Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad Depot is a historic building at 416 E. 5th Street in Eureka, Kansas. The depot is on the Howard Branch of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway. It was built to replace an earlier 1879 depot, located just to the north. Completed in 1917 at a cost of $20,000, the depot was part of a building boom in the area caused by the discovery of oil in Butler and Greenwood counties. [2]

Passenger service on the Howard Branch ended in the mid 1950s, the depot closed in 1971. [2]

The Strong City Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Depot is a historic railway station at 102 W. Topeka Avenue in Strong City, Kansas. The station was built by the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway (ATSF) in 1913 to replace the city's previous station. The ATSF first built a line through the city in 1872, bypassing the county seat of Cottonwood Falls. To honor the railroad, the city changed its name from Cottonwood Station to Strong City in 1881 for ATSF vice president William Barstow Strong. Strong City's first railroad station was a simple wood building, and after a 1902 fire the town replaced it with a board-and-batten structure. In the early 1910s, the ATSF began replacing the stations in its most important stops with permanent brick buildings; the new stations were known as county-seat depots, as they typically served a county seat or the most important station in a county. The Strong City depot is typical of the ATSF's corporate architecture at the time and includes elements of the American Craftsman and Mission Revival styles. It served passenger trains until the late 1940s and continued to function as a railway office for many years afterward.
