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 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.
