Supplemental Plate: Marker given to the city of Plano by the Mary Shirley McGuire Chapter of the National Society, Daughters of the American Revolution. 

Marker No: 6210

Marker Text: ​Built in 1908 by the Texas Traction Company (Texas Electric Railway after a merger in 1917), this station served passengers and freight customers of the company's North Texas routes. The wood frame passenger depot and the attached brick freight/electric transformer section remained in use until 1948, when the rail system declined in favor of automobile travel. It is one of the few reminders of Plano's early 20th-century transportation history. (1990)
