I originally posted information about Antique Powerland on my website in a PLACES page on November 23, 2007 and last updated it on December 18, 2009. I am posting the railroad-related information here, with pictures and information from the 2010 Great Oregon Steam-Up. All of my information about Antique Powerland can be found at PlacesPages.

The historic Brooks railroad depot was originally built by the Southern Pacific Railroad in downtown Brooks.

The depot was moved to Antique Powerland in 1986 and is now the home of the Brooks Historical Society's museum; it is being maintained in its original condition and is filled with historical artifacts.
