Bazaar Depot
Bazaar became a railroad station in 1887 when
the A.T. & S.F. railroad built to that point. With
the coming of the railroad Bazaar became for a time
the largest cattle shipping point in the state hauling annually as many as 2,000 cars in a season.
In 1923 the line was built through to EIDorado.
For several years business continued to thrive and
an agent and two operators were employed with
service ''around the clock.''
With the building of
the turnpike, (officially opened on October 25,
1956) the trucking industry took over a large part
of the cattle business and the depot was torn down
in 1970.
