Pennsylvania, Ligonier - Ligonier Valley Rail Road Museum
Ligonier, PA - The Ligonier Valley Rail Road Museum is located 3 miles west of Ligonier, Pennsylvania and is housed in an original Ligonier Valley Rail Road station that was built around 1896. The Ligonier Valley Rail Road Association acquired the property in 2005 Darlington Station 1934 and raised funding to restore the station. The project took about 2 ½ years and it was opened as the Ligonier Valley Rail Road Museum on May 21, 2010. The photo on the left shows the station in 1935. Darlington Station 2008The photo on the right shows the station as it is today as the Ligonier valley Rail road Museum.
The mission of the museum is to preserve the history of the Ligonier Valley Rail Road. The Railroad was founded by Judge Thomas Mellon and began passenger operation on December 1, 1877 and during the course of its 75 years of operation it carried 9 million passengers and hauled 32 million tons of freight. The last run occurred on August 31, 1952.
The Museum collection includes over 3,000 items. The Museum itself houses a variety of items including lanterns, locks and keys, PRR and B&O dinnerware, and a wall map of the right of way of the LVRR. We also have a small HO gauge model RR as well as videos relating to the LVRR and other railroads.

South Carolina - Lancaster and Chester Railroad Museum
Lancaster, SC - Once upon an occasion, a trip to the Springs Recreation Park would allow for a ride on the only miniature steam driven railway in the world. On any given weekend, the Lancaster and Chester crew could be found operating the Lilliputian Branch of the railroad. In those days, the branch consisted of three locomotives, four passenger cars, two flat cars, and a caboose. There was more than one mile of rail with a turntable, a round house, a station, two sidetracks, a water tank and a tunnel. Thousands of children visited the park annually to ride the train. A portion of this train is already on display at the L&C Museum with the remaining portion undergoing renovations.
The highlight of the museum is a scale model replica of the original 29-mile route of the L&C. The railroad enthusiasts have taken on the responsibility of making exact replicas of every building and facility on the route, plus shrubs, trees and bodies of water.

South Dakota - Miranda Depot
Miranda. SD - The former Chicago & Northwestern Railroad depot of Miranda, Faulk County, South Dakota, is undergoing restoration and preservation. The depot is a classic one-story country depot built about the time the railroad line was built as an extension west from Huron in 1886. The depot was closed for a period of time after the depression, so if you were to check your railroad history records, you may not find a reference to Miranda during that time and also other periods the depot was inactive. Final closure was in 1956, and ownership transferred to the Miranda grain elevator. The grain elevator moved the depot across the street to a yard owned by the elevator. It was used for storage, and it was painted and re-roofed, keeping the building in good condition. Those factors---periods of inactivity, and some steps taken to preserve the building from the elements---help keep the building in good condition.
