The Depot will be closed all weekend this Memorial Day weekend. We honor those Veterans who gave their all for our freedom. We especially remember all those young men, who remain unnamed who left to serve their country through the doors of our depot and never came home. It is humbling to consider the goodbyes that occurred on our platform. Enjoy the weekend safely-but never forget.

Larry and Susie Jackson and Gary and Gale Lincke represented our depot at the 2026 Katy Railroad Historical Society Convention in Kansas City last week. We always enjoy the events planned and getting together with our fellow Katy Railroad Railfans. We are excited to announce we are chairing the 2027 convention to be held right here in central Texas!

So great to get to know all the great folks who are passionate about railroad history in central Texas, and there’s no telling what might happen when we put our heads together. Thank you, old town Old Town Cameron for a great show!

Our second Cameron Train Show is in the books. Every aspect of the show was better than last years. There were lots of positive comments and the vendors sold a lot of model train equipment. As always, the train layouts were a huge hit with the over 150 kids attending and participating in our new kid friendly activities. Pictured here are the Directors and volunteers from the Rockdale I&GN Depot, Eagle Lake Depot, LaGrange Depot, Hearne Depot, Deanville Depot, San Antonio Railroad Museum and the Milam County Railroad Museum. We have forged strong friendships with these amazing folks to promote the preservation of Railroad history in Texas. We have made a commitment to expand our outreach to all Texas Railroad Museums and Depots in our State in the coming months and years. I want to thank our new Education Director Ashley Prine and all of our volunteers, parents of our Jr. Engineers and our Railroad Museum Association members for their help today. We are truly blessed by their help and our community support.

Thanks to our friends at Bartley’s Snack Shop next door for returning the original Train Bulletin Board to our depot. It was hanging in one of their bed and breakfast rooms above the snack shop. We know it’s the original to our depot because the back is labeled “La Grange” on the MKT label. And thanks to docent Bill Karisch for putting the wheels in motion for us to accept this donation.

Happy Easter from all of the Friends of the La Grange Railroad Depot!
