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!

I’m sorry not to be more positive about this place. Had it been free entry (or, at least, cheaper) I would have accepted it as it was. But it cost $36 for two adults and one child. Well, there’s really not a great deal to see. Perhaps we’re spoilt in the UK with the National Railway Museum in York (now that really is five stars) but I thought that this was very provincial and rather sparse in what it had to offer. It doesn’t really do what it says on the tin. Sorry...

We're sorry we didn't live up to your expectations! I haven't been to the UK but I'll have to check out that museum if I do. Unfortunately for us we wouldn't be able to operate if we didn't charge admission. We believe we offer good value for the price, especially with our exceptional tour guides. We do appreciate you visiting us from so far away!

The folks here really care about the rail heritage of Bowling Green. Our guide was knowledgeable and really cared about his trains. The static display and tour of the train was fun. they have laid out some really cool displays and if your a train buff like us we loved it. It is well worth the side trip for an afternoon among some cool train stuff.
