The locomotive looks like thomas for sure 🤣 but can't wait to see the inside of the depot. I wonder why these days people don't really do trains anymore in the US. I always find it to be car dependent society and trains are only for amusement of thing of the past.

Well the start of Amtrak here in 1972 really kind of took away from the experience I believe. Though it's available in larger cities it's not in the small towns that use to have these train depots. Quite a few small towns had them. I find it sad, this one provided transportation to and from Omaha (larger city) mostly which was about 7 miles away. I would find it cool to take a train ride to work. I missed the train by about 60 years ago, well in this area anyway.
The inside was neat but I had the museum worker with me so I didn't take as many photos as I would have liked. Just a solo tour and she was pretty chatty not only about the place but with every thing else, hehe. There is more than just the depot I was happy I decided to do this 😃
My partner sent me this video of train excursion back in Colorado and I wanted to do it when I get there. It looks really fun. Train is really fun to get by, I take trains more than flights frequently, it's stress free compared to airport.
It's always nice to have a chatty guide, you learn a lot more, not just the place but other things😄
Oh yes they sometimes bring back the old trains that do some limited trips. They had one here that passed through Omaha and went West. Some places have short tourists runs with them. I went on one in South Dakota last summer that was so cool.
Yes chatty guides can give a wealth of information. She did do that most of the conversation.
