One of the better train museums I have been at. Plenty of cars to poke through. Staff are very knowledgeable.
I used to work for CP Rail in the Midwest so being around trains 🚂 is not just a fascination. My wife and I really enjoyed our 90 min visit of the passenger cars and locomotives. Those were the days of luxury travel and beautiful vistas. Admission Feb ‘24 was $15 pp. Very friendly volunteer staff. Recommend!
Fantastic collection of passenger equipment. A good variety of heavyweight, streamlined and hi-level equipment. The Baldwin diesel is a must see. The museum is laid out well and is easy to navigate. The inside exhibits were informative and well displayed..
This was an unexpected treasure. The grounds don't look too impressive, but the collection of train cars, engines, and curiosities are a real find. Initially, I hesitated at the $15 entry fee, but it turned out to be totally worth the price. There were very extensive passenger collections from 2 eras. The scale of the cars shocked me, compared to the jet culture we are accustomed to now. Took about an hour to see the important areas, but you could spend more.
Awesome place for little kids. Brought my 2 year old and he loved it. We spent about 45 min there. Basically you just walk up and down the train. It’s super cool seeing all the old trains. Ps it gets really hot and also, the hallways are tiny so probably not good for claustrophobic people
