The Railway Depot is where trains can be purchased and sold. Trains need to start with one Engine at the front of the train, followed by any number and types of Wagons and possibly more Engines.

The selections of Engines and Wagons available at the depot increases with both progressing Eras as well as building the Engine Works Extension. You will find the filters very convenient to let you see all wagons that can carry coal or mail, for instance, without the clutter of every other type of wagon.

When building a Railway Depot, it will automatically connect to any nearby railway lines, either forming a single junction or a turning triangle, depending on the space available and orientation, at least if you haven't disabled this in Advanced settings.

You need to electrify your depot in 5th era to be able to purchase and use electric trains. While the depot window will by then offer a button to do this upgrade, you can also simply upgrade the rail leading into the depot, and the depot itself will be upgraded along with the piece of rail.

Depots are crucial in one other respect: Renovating and upgrading older engines. Please see Vehicle Aging for a detailed explanation why you need to send trains to your depots before their fuel costs explode.
