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!

Our "tour guide" Donna gave such a wonderfully presented tour of the five or six train cars we went through and we really left there with a superb understanding of the history of the trains and the lives of those who worked the trains. The museum itself had so much that we were only able to finish the lower floor after our tour because we found everything we read and saw so interesting. Definitely worth a second visit for us in the future.

A delight. You must find ways to avoid becoming what LBL used to claim "best kept secret' in the Bluegrass State. Whoever designed the museum. Mega-Kudos. You've made this a wonderful site for history, trends, 20th century social norms/expectations beyond railroad in Kentucky. Our tour guide was a sweet natured smiling young lady who fielded questions with poise and grace. All in all, our tour was ... well, we're coming back and already letting others know where you are. Thank you. [email protected]

The mail car was very interesting! It was fun to walk through the actual cars that were in use for decades. It was like stepping back in time for a moment.
