Hearne RailRoad Station Grand ReOpening -- last Saturday 4/9/11.    After putting up signs and taking pictures at one of my listings in Conroe, I went over to Hearne for the Grand ReOpening of the RailRoad station.

car show

 They had a small car show outside the station.

 You can also see a Hearne fire truck in the background.  The Pump Jack in the foreground proclaims the original opening for the Hearne depot to be 1901.

antiques

 Here were were some of the displays.  This case held some antiques.  This is a cash register and a radio.

map of hearne

 This map of hearne shows nice straight streets.  I think the top right section is where the train station is.  Let me know if you know for sure.

up emblem

 They had lots of train decals there, this Union Pacific one caught my eye.

station displays

 Here is another room in the station where they have exhibits and lots of old photos, as well as a model train exhibit.

I like the Hearne depot because of the big "X" formed by the railroad tracks.  Hope you can visit someday and see the depot for yourself.  The hours are Wednesday - Saturday 11am - 4pm.

The Hearne Depot is almost identical to the one in Santa Fe... including the color! I guess the rail road got a set of plans and used them over and over again.
