Grand Opening Joliet Railroad Museum

Join us for the grand opening of our newest museum – The Joliet Railroad Museum at Gateway Transportation Center, 90 E. Jefferson Street in Joliet.

The Railroad Museum is a former circa 1913 interlocking signal tower, known locally as Union Depot Tower, that was preserved and incorporated into the new Gateway Center Train Station.

The Joliet Railroad Museum features information on the railroad companies that operated lines through Joliet and their ensuing legacies as well as the mechanisms and controls that coordinated the movement of trains through this critical intersection of east-west and north-south rail travel.
