## What we know

The Santa Fe built through Larkspur in September 1887. Its first station was a box-car depot that also housed the agent; a freight collision on Dec. 31, 1900 'practically demolished' it, and 'the new Santa Fe depot is now ready' in December 1905 (Castle Rock Journal, S-0122). In 1948 the post office was '597 feet to AT&SF Depot' (site report, S-0113).
