Chatham Railroad Station is a former station located on Depot Road in Chatham, Massachusetts which houses a museum. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1978,[3] and it is now home to the Chatham Railroad Museum.
The Chatham Railroad Museum features many railroad artifacts, including the New York Central model locomotives used at the 1939 New York World's Fair. Other displays include original and operating Western Union telegraph equipment, lanterns, badges, signs, tools, timetables, menus and passes, promotional literature, original paintings and prints, calendars, and a restored 1910 caboose.
Service to Chatham was on a line that spurred from the mainline to Provincetown.
Service ended to the station in the 1930s. There is no connected railroad track running there for train service. The former Old Colony Railroad line ends in South Dennis and no longer runs to Chatham.
Plans were made in the first years of the 21st Century to extend the Cape Cod Rail Trail into Chatham and west of Dennis and into Barnstable.
