What child at heart and child at present doesnt love trains? I know I do!And without doubt Paducahs railway museum is the best replication display of railroad history to this community.Though the museum is by appointment only to view. Railroad folks of Old come round to show and tell that all-important history from the days of the first freight trains to the days of the World War 2 Troop Trains to todays railway and passenger locomotives.Step back in time and listen for the hauntingly beautiful call of the conductor when he says, All aboard!The Railroad Museum is just across the street from The Carson Center in downtown Paducah.

A nice small musuem.

This was a very informative place it cost 6 dollars for adults and the 3 ladies working there are so kind. The only downside is that simulator the volunteer coordinator is not informative and honks the train horn a little much. Since it is a video thing from a computer program. So all in all I think its fun.

I love going to train museums. A good place to take your family. A great place for a school feild trip.

Decent. No rolling stock on site. An IC loco, pullman car and caboose in a park about a block away, though. Focused heavily on local stations and Paducah shop.

Always so much fun. Great activites. Good learning resources.

Well documented to explain the purpose of the items. Great history.

This place is amazing be sure to check it out

Nice Museum, very interesting film and exhibits, helpful staff.

Great place, family friendly. Full of great history. Very helpful.

Was a nice small museum to visit.

Great history... Very informative

Nice well kept musuem. Quaint, but full of information about the railroad history in the area. Worth stopping in. Neat locomotive simulator for kids of all ages.

Very friendly people. Could have more displays

Very cool.

A sad excuse for a museum. Not much to see since all they have to offer is an eclectic mix of railroad artifacts and photographs without much coherence or explanation. They do have a working locomotive simulator and a working Centralized Traffic Control machine, but there are no real railroaders available to explain or demonstrate these exhibits, so they mostly sit there dark and untouched. The Illinois Central Mikado locomotive on the waterfront a block away does NOT belong to this museum, nor do they maintain it, despite their adoption of it as their mascot. There is an O-scale train layout under construction, but it is just a small oval of track designed to amuse children and naive visitors. The only good feature of the place is their Gift Shop which sells the cheapest Paducah souvenirs in town!

Not what you would think of as a museum

Was not completed and should not of been charged admission also has an uneasy feeling about the two people working there

A little small, but super cute for a family outing.

A labor of love. Worth the visit.

Frieindly folks and some neat artifacts & displays. I really liked the simulator.

Neat place ️

Were closed for remodeling. Need bigger sign saying so. Great work on IC mike, passenger car, and caboose.

Awesome place to learn about the history of Paducah and its industries!the people inside there are very nice.

I thought the museum was great!!!Obviously some people should be visiting museums in Nashville or a bigger city.
