About the Chi-Town Union Station
Welcome to Chi-Town Union Station, located at 8275 Cooley Lake Road in Commerce Charter Township, Michigan. As the world's largest O-Scale Model Railroad, we are proud to showcase the world's longest model train in our 10,000 square foot museum.
Our dedicated staff of modelers opens our doors to the public on weekends from November through March, inviting visitors to explore over 12,000 feet of track that spans multiple levels up to nine feet high. Affiliated with the non-profit West Oakland Railroad Museum, we focus on historically accurate representations of railroading in Chicago during the 1950s and 60s.
One of our newest additions is the Chi-Town Union Station terminal building, a stunning replica of the Chicago and Northwestern Passenger Terminal. This model captures the essence of the Madison Street station in Chi-Town, offering a glimpse into the bustling hub of America's largest railroads.
Step into our modified walk-around exhibition layout and immerse yourself in a world of trains and tracks. From knee-high tables to overhead structures, our museum provides a unique perspective on the intricate workings of model railroading.
Visit us at 8275 Cooley Lake Road to experience the magic of Chi-Town Union Station and witness the beauty of model trains in action.

Reviews of Chi-Town Union Station
"Just awesome. Finding the Easter-eggs was alot of fun."
"WoW alot of tracks. High maintenance business. Love the nostalgia real and perceived. In the right location, I could see a gold mine. New Caretaker complaining about $$$$ cost of being in business. Kind of like inheriting a stamp collection. If new proprietor s are listening I can't think of a better solar investment opportunity. They don't even have to invert to AC Change your lighting over to 12V and put a few $$$ into electrifying the dwelling s and street light s . But - Location Location location."
"Huge train layout with many trains running. We spent almost 2 hours and it felt like we were there just a short time. Railfans, families, little kids - something for everyone who likes trains!"
"Wonderful place showing replicas of trains that ran on the 1950s to 60's. They spoke about the routes which the trains ran and showed little model replica 1950s town America. Even the model trains had little people and details in it. It recently reopened in November 2021. The building is deceptively nondescript outside, but inside it was amazing to see the model replicas of people, trains, and historic America at that time. It was a lot of fun and we took our time reading the little historic remarks and getting the feel of the time period. The volunteers and staff were friendly and answered our questions. After that, we got some ice cream at the DQ across the street."
"Really good time for my wife, 2 kids (4 & 1.5yrs old) and I. Great layout with tons of trains in operation. Only $5/adult and all kids 5 and under are free with paying adult. We did two laps and were in and out in just over 1 hour. I could have hung out longer! Highly recommend checking it out!"
