"Great place to hold events for a fairly large crowd"
"Cool area, but the inside looks like it's been renovated and doesn't seem authentic. I was disappointed as I've seen other train stations that evoked walking back in time. This one seemed like an 80's community centre. Also, the person who worked at the office inside the building parked her vehicle right in front of the caboose, making a decent picture impossible. There was a lot of other parking spaces available so that was annoying."
"The Micropolitan Film Festival was in the Marion Train Depot. Pretty Neat Place."
"I love shooting photographs here. I've also enjoyed a plethora of memorable life events here."
