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!

The tour was excellent. The guide pointed out so many features that we never considered. Each car was different and well maintained or restored. The model train layout was great too

This was a great little side trip in Bowling Green. We did the Lost River Cave boat tour and had a couple more hours left in us so we checked out the museum. We made the last tour of the day with Cameron. He was wonderful, a little bit shy at first and once he got going his love of trains and knowledge was outstanding!! He spent all kinds of time explaining little extras during the train tour and gave us a glimpse of the exhibits that are currently under construction. As a nurse i am looking forward to the hospital car that will be ready in the next couple of years. We had tons of questions and he was awesome!! Thanks Cameron!

My wife and I engaged in a fascinating tour of an historic train, which has been refurbished by the Historic RailPark in Bowling Green, KY. I have always loved trains, but this look into the past and the fascinating body of knowledge gained with my new understanding of the ins and outs of this passenger line, sprinkled liberally with intriguing stories of the characters who interacted with the railway made the price of admission more than worthwhile. As a disabled man, I appreciated the fact that this tour was handicapped-friendly. This is a must for anyone who visits Bowling Green and who loves the lore of the rails!
