Historical pictures of Cameron courtesy of Cameron City Hall web site http://www.cameron-mo.com/

A $200,000 historic restoration is underway on the Burlington Depot, which will convert into a railroad museum. The city once had 3 operating depots and owes its beginning to the coming of the iron horse.

The Cameron Historical Society spent years restoring the former Burlington Northern depot into the Depot Museum which houses artifacts tracing Cameron's railroad heritage. The town once had three train stations including the elegant Cameron Junction and boasted 44 trains a day. Railroad contractors completed the Hannibal-St. Joseph Railway ahead of schedule in 1859 and earned a bonus—ten gallons of whiskey.
