Historic Trail Depot - Cheyenne, WY


The historic Union Pacific Depot in Cheyenne has been restored into a beautiful building which houses.  The first floor museum tells the story of the Cheyenne beginnings during the construction of the Transcontinental Railroad, the Union Pacific Depot and the Railroad for which it is named.  The second floor contains the world's most popular and loved narrow gauge model railroads, the Union Central and Northern (UC&N).  The model officially opened in 2012.  Harry S Brunk of Clarkson, NE spent over 30 years hand-crafting everything from scenery to the rolling stock for this HO scale model of the narrow gauge Clear Creek (Colorado) Lines of the Colorado and Southern Railway.  While the layout is very well known, it has never left Mr. Brunk’s residence or been on public display until now.
