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 of the train cars was great! Our guide knew everything and answered all of the questions. It was better than I expected it to be, having been on other trains before. This one really and truly gave you a feel for what it was like to travel by train back in the day. The museum exhibits were interesting as well, especially the old signs, posters, advertisements, etc. I wish there had been a book in the gift shop that was specifically about the L&N that maybe included some of the stories and photos seen on the tour. Maybe someone local could write one? I'd buy it! Anyway, everyone we encountered was very nice and helpful, and we're glad we stopped in.

If you like trains, you will really enjoy the tour of the cars. If you are ok with trains, you will still enjoy the car tour. The museum is ok; mostly about people and trains. There is also a model train set up that is enjoyable. The engine is a bit disappointing because it's been set up as an extension of the museum and not as an engine car. The other cars are very interesting and fun to tour. We really enjoyed our visit.

The exhibits were nicely restored and the tour guide is well informed. Down side is there is alot and I do mean alot of information to look at and read over and the tour seems rushed to fit in the 45 minute windows. It would be nice to have the time for children and train enthusiasts to actually have time to read and enter act with the informational details they installed in the train cars

Thank you very much for visiting the Historic RailPark and leaving us a review! Regarding the tour duration, due to shortage of staff at present we try to keep those tours at that length to make sure that scheduled tours for the day leave at the advertised times a quarter after the hour. But we are happy to hear that you enjoyed your visit, and we will take your feedback into account!
