El Paso by train

Downtown art and a historic plaza

Union Depot is west of El Paso’s downtown museums and plaza. El Paso uses Mountain Time, unlike the other Texas guide stations; use each station’s local time when checking your itinerary.

Times to reach each place are planning allowances from the station, not measured routes. Check directions, opening hours and accessibility before you go.
