Rock Island Railroad Depot

Great place to check out steam locomotives...4014 was the second one in 2 years....rear view is from 2nd floor window....both locomotives spent the night here...

Went there to see Big Boy. The museum had a lit of history and I enjoyed looking at all the displays. If your in the area stop by and check it out.

Great historic site. Seeing this depot really ties Fairbury together. Happened to be in town the evening a special train engine was visiting and experienced the spectacle of train enthusiasts enjoying a look at a rare piece of equipment.

A good start on a work in progress, the Rock Island Railroad Depot will be something for Fairbury and Jefferson County to be proud of as it grows. The ladies there were very nice and knowledgeable. A collector has donated 30-some large boxes of model trains and related equipment which will be displayed in a room currently being renovated on the 2nd floor. It should be impressive when finished. There's a modern working elevator for easy access.

We joined Nebraska Passport. Rock Island Depot and Railroad museum is a stop for 2020. Lots of historic information about the Rock Island Railroad in Fairbury, NE.
