So much railroad/train history from pictures, tools, dinner bell, old train sets, etc. The building is gorgeous and clean. There is a gift shop with Tshirts, hats, etc for purchase (not expensive). There’s an elevator to make it easier for handicap individuals.

Worth the stop if you're into historic buildings, or trains. Still an active Amtrak depot, is mostly restored and has a museum / gift shop. The Mikado locomotive is a plus. There's a parking lot next to the old hotel which is apparently a restaurant, and then you go through a tunnel to get to the depot proper. There are some beautiful old homes nearby, then also some that were beautiful and could be once again. While there check out downtown Marshall, especially the courthouse, it's worth a stop inside.

The property is an excellent momento from train history, and is an excellent reminder of how transportation plays an important role in how communities are developed along the train routes. When going into the tunnel that stretches below the train rails, the first door upon exiting the tunnel is the gift shop which you will have to discover while walking into the more modernized terminal booth, that will actually allow you to see the rest of the museum, however since I only stopped by serendipitously while visiting the town, I wasn't able to find out what it was entirely. Just adjacent to the train depot is The Ginocchio Hotel that would have been the first sight people see upon arriving via the station. I'll probably return again and update this review at some other time.

The person that worked in the gift shop was super nice and lovely and there was a actual train went through!

Thi is great place to learn the history of trains, especially around the East Texas area.
