Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum "Grand Junction" Depot is located at 4119 Cromwell Road in Chattanooga Tennessee. Grand Junction Station is the premiere station and the location of the main display yard. Here you can buy tickets for the Missionary Ridge Local and Chickamauga Turn trips, eat lunch in the deli (or outside at the numerous picnic tables) and board Dixie Land Excursion Specials such as the Autumn Leaf Special or the North Pole Limited. Downstairs along with the deli you’ll find a gift shop, authentic waiting lounge, and ticket office. Just outside the station is the boarding track where you’ll board the trains.
Grand Junction Station was completed in 1983 as a near-copy of the station in Tuscumbia, Alabama, although TVRM’s version includes a restaurant, gift shop, audio-visual theater, and modern restrooms, (not to mention air conditioning).
