Friends of the Tehachapi Depot
Join us. Keep the depot alive.
The mission of the Friends of the Tehachapi Depot (FOTD), through the operation of the Tehachapi Depot Railroad Museum, is to educate the public on the history and impact of the railroad in our community and geographic area.
Our all-volunteer staff is dedicated to the successful operation of our historic depot, maintaining the artifacts and displays, and providing an interactive learning experience for our local and worldwide visitors.
