Temple’s museum and Santa Fe Plaza are alongside the working Amtrak station. Museum opening days matter, and a later train is not necessarily available the same day.
Times to reach each place are planning allowances from the station, not measured routes. Check directions, opening hours and accessibility before you go.
Explore exhibits about railroad work and travel in the historic Santa Fe Depot. Keep separate time for your Amtrak boarding even though the museum is in the depot complex.

Tuesday–Saturday 10am–4pm; Sunday and Monday closed. Federal holidays may affect access; confirm before a holiday trip.

Santa Fe Plaza
Spend a relaxed hour around the plaza and depot exterior. This is a short public-space visit, not a promise that a market, fountain or food truck will be operating.
10 min walking allowance each way1h suggested visit
The city visitor guide confirms the plaza beside Amtrak. General access hours are not specified; event, fountain and food-truck schedules vary.
Use public paths around the active rail station. Consult the current event listing if a particular market or performance is the reason for your trip.
