The Depot Smokehouse and Tavern, formerly The Depot Express, resides in the original Burlington Northern Alexandria, MN train depot. This iconic building has been an area attraction since it was constructed in 1907, and was unquestionably one of the finest railway stations in Minnesota and in the Midwest. The depot stopped all passenger service to Alexandria in 1967, only staying open to freight delivery. By 1976 the depot closed its doors to all services. It stayed closed until 1984, when Bill Seykora and Ken Neumann purchased the building from Burlington Northern Railroad.
