Midland's base of operations was the depot built in 1906 by the AT&SF at 1515 High Street in Baldwin City.

This building was added to the National Register of Historic Places listings in Douglas County, Kansas in 1983.

[2] The original plan was for the BC&SR to take over all active railroad operations, while Midland would focus on public education and historic preservation.

[2] However, the BC&SR service was discontinued in March of 2020 following a rent dispute with the operator of Baldwin City’s historic train depot.
