Railroad scenes, Santa Fe, New Mexico

Former Santa Fe Depot, Santa Fe New Mexico, now Tomasitas.

These photographs depict the historic Santa Fe stationhouse in Santa Fe, New Mexico, which is now Tomisitas, a very good northern New Mexico restaurant.  These photographs are admittedly unusual for htis blog, as they depict he interior, and its exterior solar panels. The depot depicted in the bottom photograph is the current depot.

The mariachi band is Mariachi Buenaventura, a very good all female mariachi band.
