The Tucumcari Railroad Museum in Tucumcari, NM offers visitors a captivating journey through the history of the railroad industry in Eastern New Mexico, from the 19th Century to the present day. Housed in the restored Union Station depot, originally built in 1926, the museum showcases exhibits that delve into the development of the Southern Pacific and Rock Island railroads, as well as their predecessors, and their eventual combination into today's Union Pacific Railroad.
Visitors can immerse themselves in the world of trains by experiencing the rumble and roar of passing freight trains, listening to the conversations of crews and personnel, and even taking on the role of an engineer on a GP-38 diesel through the train simulator and real hands-on control stand. The museum also highlights the individuals whose endeavors shaped the railroads and transformed them into the thriving industry they are today.
