On May 12, 2018, a model railroad replicating 1930’s Mineola & her 3 railroads was opened in the Mineola Depot Museum. The model train layout will be used as an educational tool for individuals and groups who are seeking to learn about Mineola/East Texas and her railroad history. The trains will have the capability of being run remotely from inside and outside the train room.
In the future, an individual operating the display will also have the option to hear historical information about selected Mineola businesses by pressing the button corresponding to that business.
