Cheyenne Depot Museum, built in 1887, is one of the last great depots remaining from the golden age of train travel, and is representative of the opening of the American West to mechanized travel. This landmark building tells the story of the beginnings of Cheyenne during the building of the Transcontinental Railroad in the 19th century. The Cheyenne Depot houses a renowned model train, and two historic steam engines: The 844 Steam King, which was the last steam engine built for the Union Pacific Railway, and Challenger 3985, which is the largest operating steam engine in the world. The gracious lobby of the museum can be rented for special events, such as weddings, reunions, and lectures.
