Bogalusa Railroad Station is a historic train station in Bogalusa, Washington Parish, Louisiana. Built around 1907,[1] it is significant in the history of local industry, commerce, and transportation, particularly related to the lumber industry.[2]

The station was central to the development of Bogalusa, especially in its role in transporting lumber to national markets. Architecturally, it features unique design elements like semi-octagonal ticket windows and pine brackets. The building showcases specific characteristics of early 20th-century industrial architecture, focusing on functionality. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980, the Bogalusa Railroad Station symbolizes the city's early economic development and ties to the lumber industry.[3] A sign on the station building shows the station's name in the Hobo typeface associated with the community.[4]
