Summary
| Description |
English: Photograph of the L&N Depot in Foley, Alabama. The Bay Minette-Fort Morgan Railway, a branch of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, was built for travel to Foley in 1905. The intention was to take the tracks all the way to Fort Morgan, but a hurricane disrupted construction. The railroad station, built in 1905, burned to the ground three years later and was replaced the following year with this station.

In 1971, the L & N discontinued its services to Foley and planned to demolish the station. John Snook, owner of Gulf Telephone, bought the building for $1.00. He moved it to Magnolia Springs and used it as a warehouse. In 1991, he deeded it to the City of Foley and it was returned to the original site where it still stands today, operating as the Foley Alabama Railroad Museum.
