Embudo
is an unincorporated community in Rio Arriba County along state route 68, in northern New Mexico. The town was founded in 1881 when the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad opened a depot there on its Chili Line. The station was named after the village San Antonio de Embudo, located 2 miles up the Embudo River, and until 1902 both communities shared a post office and were known jointly as Embudo. Today, from the state road, a concrete bridge, replacing the old wooden bridge, crosses the Rio Grande to the Embudo Historic District which consists of the old railway station and associated buildings. The word embudo means funnel in Spanish and it describes how the Rio Grande valley narrows into a deep canyon at the site. A depot, freight house, turntable and water tank were all here at one time. Crews could get a hot meal at the Eating House and catch some sleep in the Bunk House. The turntable was a concrete walled pit with a steel girder bridge. Originally the depot was a standard issue rectangle with wood siding and a shingle roof. However, this building was unique among the many on the D&RG because it was covered with river stones plucked from the Rio Grande. The depot still exists today and is easy to see just off the main highway. Several additions have been made to the original structure but you can still make out the basic shape.
