What To Expect

Historic RailPark & Train Museum

Located between two major cities, Bowling Green Kentucky has a long history tied to the evolution of transportation in the area. The current L&N Depot was built in 1925 to replace an older station. At one time, over 20 trains per day departed the current site, providing a hub for Bowling Green's economic foundation to travelers between Louisville, KY and Nashville, TN. Within the Museum, galleries of regional and national importance have been developed for public interest of cultural, historic and socioeconomic Importance. Right behind the museum lies 450 feet of track displaying an E8 Engin, a Railroad Post office car, the Duncan Hines Diner, a 1949 Pullman diner, the towering Pine - a 1953 Pullman Sleeper, the 353 Presidential office car and more!

This is a very well-done museum and tour. It takes you back to the glory days of train travel with all of the highs and lows of the day. America was very different in the first half of the 20th century, as the wonderful photo and audio presentations throughout the exhibit demonstrate. Something for people of all ages. The young kids present on our tour really got into it. Highly recommended!

I loved the private tour of the various train cars; mailroom, dining room, first & second class sitting/sleeping cars, kitchen, and the owner, of L & N’s, private car. Our guide was knowledgeable and passionate! It was fascinating to learn so much about the ins and outs of traveling during those times. The museum itself was quite comprehensive. Much time and effort was put into L & N’s history, restoration, and memorable gathering. It is well worth your time!

This is a nice little museum. The gem is the tour. Our guide was full of very interesting information about the restored train cars we walked through.
