cotton belt depot museum印象

A group of us traveling to other railroad events, stopped by this museum and were graciously accommodated by being let in early. We were really impressed. I don't want to overstate what we found, but the extent of their collections of train related artifacts provided many items of real interest. We spent our time with a great and greatly informed docent who was able to provide more information & good stories. If you are interested in trains at all, this is a worthwhile stop to make.

My husband enjoyed chewing the fat with the old timers manning the museum. Lots of train info and tales from the past...kids would probably get a kick out of too!

This historical depot is owned by the city. A ;portion of it is dedicated to model train collection that was bequeathed to the city. :Local members of a model train club staff it as volunteers and act as docents. It is free, but a collection jar is handy.You will see an elaborate and working model train layout, and the kids may begiven a chance to run the train. They also me be given a conductor's hat.

If you have not visited this quaint little museum you need to! Depot filled with historical trains and lots of information. Very nice and the kids will love it!

Who would have thought that within this small depot are several excellent, informative and historical railroad displays. Here you’ll find relics from day’s gone by when the Cotton Belt RR made regular stops in Tyler. You'll find several working model train displays and usually they are all running. As an additional benefit, the volunteers that work there are passionate about their role and spend time explaining all the history within and out of the depot walls.Fun for all ages!

This is a small museum, but it is full of trains and historical information. The man who walked us through it was very knowledgable and friendly. Definitely worth a look!

This a great little Train Museum of the Cotton Belt in Tyler, Tx, the currators of the museum are old engineers and railroad workers which add to the tour and U get a first hand word of mouth experience there. The Tyler Transit takes up most of the building, but the museum has artifacts of the Railroad era thru out the Depot. They have a few model railroads set up. Lots of photos of the era of Railroads. Its Free and near downtown Tyler, check it out.

My kids loved the O, HO and N gauge train layouts. Its very small and can be toured, very extensively, in about 15 minutes. But, my kids were fascinated by the hosts who let them pick the train to run and blow the whistle. Left a donation in the box, but no fee.

If you have a little kid that loves Thomas the Train, they'll love this museum. They have so many model trains of all types and even some Thomas models that runs on their model rails. My 3 yr old son was speechless and didn't want to leave.
