The first official freight train of the Southern Central Railroad pulled into Newark Valley on March 8, 1870. Passenger service started within one month. Thus began over 100 years of service to the communities lying on the east branch of the Owego Creek.

Today the depot has been restored to the 1910 period, and contains a variety of railroad artifacts and memorabilia. The Depot is home to an HO scale model railroad depicting the northern Tioga County segment of the Lehigh Valley Railroad.

 Admission is FREE to the Depot, although donations are cheerfully accepted.

See the model railroad layout depicting the Lehigh Valley line. Refresh yourself with snacks and drinks at the Coal Bin.

Depot weekend hours are from July  to the first weekend of October, 1:30 - 3:00 p.m.

Special appointments can be arranged for tours on any day of the week. Call (607) 642-9516.
