Historic Railpark and Train Museum

Back


Long before interstates, people resting in Bowling Green arrived at the L&N Passenger Depot. This 1925 structure has been restored and revived to house a two-story museum where visitors can learn the history of the tracks by asking questions of a "real Railroader" like a Pullman Porter, an L&N Cook and a Conductor through state-of-the art interactive galleries. Housing one of the region's largest model railroad displays inside, outside is where the Historic Railpark displays a 1911 L&N Presidential office car, a 1949 Pullman Standard dining car, a 1953 Luxury Pullman sleeper and a Chessie Class Caboose. Two rare additions are being restored, a 1921 L&N Railroad Post Office Car and a 1953 E8A Diesel Locomotive.
