History lives on

The depot does double duty as a museum and serves occasionally as an active railroad station for a few Amtrak special trains. Nice, preserved snow train is on display outside

Actually building seems to be rarely open

Although we could only peek through with windows, this was an interesting place to visit. Although Laramie is really known for the University of Wyoming, the city's roots are in the railroad. The city has put together a few really cool train cars (caboose, bunk...More

Wonderfully preserved

Many western rail towns have maintained their depots where it would have been so easy to lose them after passenger service ceased. I’m so grateful for successful preservation efforts here. When a twenty year old newly relocated Wyomingite, I boarded a train here, one of...More

Work horses of yesteryear.

This is another stop in Wyoming to see some of the great work horses that helped build this great country. We need more of these awesome work horses restored and taken care of.

Fascinating to the rail buff

This train, put together by the efforts of Larry Ostresh, displays several elements of what could have been a working train seen during the steam era around Laramie. There's a converted tender that is now a dramatic snow plow, a steam locomotive, tender for the...More

Hiatoric Landmark

This building was build in 1924. The volunteer board has done a great job of maintaining this beautiful building. It is a great option for a rental for a wedding or a party. They have installed a kitchen which is a wonderful addition for renters.
