The Madison station, nominated as the Madison Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad Depot, is a historic railroad depot building at 3rd and Boone streets in Madison, Kansas. The depot was on the Emporia to Moline line of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway. The railway reached Madison in May 1879, when the Kansas City, Emporia and Southern Railroad Company, a subsidiary of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway, built south from Emporia. The original line was built as narrow gauge, but was converted to standard gauge a year later. The depot was finished prior to the railroad reaching town, and additions were added to the passenger waiting room around 1915 and the freight room around 1920.[1]
