Two Harbors, MN - The Duluth and Iron Range Depot is a two-story, 110' x 44' brick building erected in 1907. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

It served passenger and freight needs until 1961. In addition to housing the Depot Museum the building is also the home of the Lake County Historical Societies administrative offices, archive storage and the new Judge William Scott Library (a work in progress).
The Depot Museum features exhibits that reflect the development of Lake County with special emphasis placed on the big three industries; iron mining and the railroad, timber, and commercial fishing.

Missouri - Frisco 1522's Official Home Page
St. Louis Steam Train Association - Frisco 1522's Official Home Page. the St. Louis Steam
Train Association, a group of volunteers working evenings and weekends, selected the 1522 for restoration and
began a slow effort to bring the engine back to running condition. Their effort paid off in 1988 when the 1522 ran
again under her own steam and, since then, the engine has made numerous excursions throughout the midwest,
plains and the South.

Missouri - Independence Chicago & Alton Depot
Independence, MO - 1879 Historical Wonder.
Believed to be the only completely restored two story train depot in Missouri, the Chicago & Alton Depot was built in 1879.
In 1996, the Depot was moved from its original location in spectaular fashion, being lifted from its original foundation and paraded down the street in front of hundreds of spectators and news media, to its current location on West Pacific Ave. From 1992 to 2002 members of the community worked hard to bring the decaying historical wonder back to life.
The two-story depot contains three rooms on the first floor which are the waiting room, stationmaster's room, and baggage room. On the second floor, four rooms, which were formerly the stationmaster's residence, are the kitchen, dining room, bedroom, and the parlor. An additional bedroom and storage room have been converted to an artifacts room. The entire Depot is furnished to appear as it did in the late 1800's.
