The Santa Fe Trail officially ended in 1880 when the railroad reached Santa Fe, New Mexico. This marked the decline of the trail as a major trade route, as the railroad provided a faster and more efficient means of transportation. The trail had been established in the early 19th century and played a significant role in commerce and westward expansion until its decline.
