Baton Rouge station is a historic train station located at 100 South River Road in downtown Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The building now houses the Louisiana Art and Science Museum.[2]
The two-story main block and the two one-story wings in Classical Revival style stand directly across the Old State Capitol building.[3][4][5]
The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 19, 1994 as the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley Railroad Co. Depot.[1]
IC-333, a 0-6-0 steam engine formerly owned by the Charles Black Sand & Gravel Company of Fluker, LA, is on display just outside the building. Several passenger cars previously on display have been removed. As of 2011, IC-333 and its tender have been removed from the site as well.
