Included in the museum is the fabulous "Bragg Collection" which is a vast collection of Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Bragg accumulated over a period of 26 years. Construction on the Bragg Collection layout started on March 5, 2005; the first trains on the layout were run on June 4, 2005, in conjunction with the Cotton Belt Depot centennial celebration. The Bragg Collection consists of about 200 locomotives and over 1,600 rail cars. Additionally, there is a vast collection of house, vehicles, airport, bridges and other miscellaneous pieces.
In addition to the Bragg Collection, there are three other model train layouts that were donated as well as a host of artifacts from by-gone years of the railroad industry.
