Our Mission

The Friends of the Railroad Museum intend to develop a railroad and transportation museum in downtown El Paso. Exhibits at the museum will tell the story of transportation with vehicles, related equipment and model displays. These displays will demonstrate how transportation enhanced the development of business and industry in our region. In addition to an education program the museum will maintain a library, a study center and an oral history collection program.

Desirable Location

Major exhibits will focus on 19th and 20th century regional railroad history. The museum should be located in a historic depot, if possible, which would allow the exhibition of the museum's rolling stock. Meanwhile, the museum is operating an exhibit adjacent to historic 1857 locomotive No.1 of the El Paso & Southwestern located in the Union Plaza Transit Terminal, just south of the Civic Center. Visit us there.
