Railroad Depot Plans
The Pleasant Valley depot, built in 1874, is a reminder of the prosperity which the Shenandoah valley experienced after the Civil War. Located on State Route 679, in Rockingham County, Virginia, it was, at the time of these drawings, the last remaining example of a series of depots built by the Valley Railroad post war. Check out the plans.
The Stone Avenue Station in LaGrange, Illinois was built in 1901 by the engineering department of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad (C. B. & Q) and just oozes early 20th Century character. With carved plaster brick and stonework, this depot would be a knock-out centerpiece for any early to mid 20th Century layout. Check out the plans.

Built in 1916-17, combining a passenger station, express office and freight house, Tulia Depot is a single-story brick and stucco building featured mission revival style architecture typical of Santa Fe depots. It included “a deep overhanging ceramic tile roof, prominent brackets, and projecting bays with peaked parapets and the Santa Fe logo. A narrow passageway divided gentlemen’s and ladies’ waiting rooms, with the ticket office facing the railroad tracks. The baggage room was north of the passenger section.”
