The Tehachapi Depot Museum is a really neat exhibit full of historical curiosities. They have some nice antique pieces of railway equipment and adjacent items like old luggage, etc. I liked that they display a piece of train track that had melted under extreme duress. They also have preserved news clippings and other literature for your viewing. The staff is very pleasant here, and the atmosphere is welcoming. I like that the museum is situated directly next to the actual operational railway, that there is a railroad-themed playground next door, and that a great sandwich deli and bakery, Kohnen’s, is only a hundred feet away.

Very fun place to see! Guids were very nice and informative. If you're a Railroad enthusiast, this the place to check out. There is no admissions fee. Plz leave donation to help with the preservation of this historical treasure. Then drive 10 mi down the road to check out the Tehachapi loop. If the train comes by the station and your fast you can get on the 58 west bound and make it to the observation point and watch the train come thru the loop!

We just happened to stop by this darling train depot not knowing it was actually a museum. We were thrilled!! The docent gave a fabulous tour and had everyone enthralled. It has a great history and Tehachapi is very blessed to have had this restored for this purpose. I highly encourage everyone to stop by for a visit it’s even more thrilling when the trains ride by…

Love all the historic items on display, especially the telegraph and signal control board. Visiting at the end of the Christmas season their G-scale model railroad was still on display. Staff show exceptional patience when the kids love ringing the full size bell that was part of a steam locomotive.
