The Linden Depot Museum is scheduled to open Friday, April 2 for the 2021 season. New exhibits have been added to make your visit an enjoyable experience. We have restored the Interlocking Electrical Equipment Shed (circa 1927) to its original state. Visitors will be able to see the relays used to operate all of the signals in the vicinity of the depot.
The tender used to haul coal and water for our 1837 Norris 4-2-0 steam engine is nearing completion. The tender held enough coal and water for approximately 30 miles of travel in 1837.
The museum offers a one-of-a-kind railroad experience – one museum with three unique attractions:
-
The original 1909 railroad depot
-
The 1837 Norris 4-2-0 steam engine, tender, and passenger coach
-
The model railroad attraction
