Shepherd Rail Museum
|
| Address: Shepherd Station, Shepherd, MICHIGAN, 48883 USA. Tel.: 989-828-5262 Toll Free: |
| The Ann Arbor Rail Depot, located in Shepherd, was originally built in the early 1890's and served the Shepherd area until the early 1960's when the cost of rail shipping just could not compete with the trucking industry and passenger travel by rail had long since been buried. Chamber of Commerce purchased the building from the Ann Arbor railroad with the goal of restoring the building to its original condition. Over the past ten years the committee has been able to obtain several pieces of railroad history for display at the depot. the caboose and engine were brought to the depot largely through the efforts of the late Tom Barrs, who we will be forever grateful to. Future plans for the depot include restoration of the exterior of the depot as well as our Ann Arbor Engine. |
