I love this museum. I really really do. I’m surprised I’m even giving this place 4 stars, even though we had a major issue. We came to go see some trains, but couldn’t find the entrance. When we called asking where it was, someone answered and told us that the museum was supposed to be open, but wasn’t because no one showed up to work. So, we saw what we could from behind a fence. It had some amazing stuff, but c’mon.
We have a toddler so every second weekend of the month we just live here. The staff are great and good with kids. We rented the facility for our sons third birthday. The price was very reasonable and staff very helpful. They turned on all the train horns, opened all the trains, cabooses and even the pullman car. Everyone left with a poster from the museum as a gift. We had a wonderful party thanks to Rail Giants.
Great place to come and see some truly historic and monumental machinery of the time long gone. Kids (well, most boys, at least) really love trains and theyll get a kick outta these mammoth locomotives here!
If you like trains this is the place with someone to tell you the history behind them
Call to verify their open on Saturday or Sunday you want to go. Went their during open hours and sign on door shoeless closed when it was 1230, and all gates closed.-3 stars for incorrect hours and wasting good part of my Saturday.

Very cool! My older kids, 11&13 liked it too! Got to blow the air / steam horns on the huge steam engines, I liked the library and the old caboose. Great information if you talk to the workers.... Very knowledgeable! Thanks
Small but nice museum. Worth a visit.
Love the trains and train history. It is interesting to explore the locomotives and antique railcars.
Terrific museum with some massive steam locomotives and memorabilia on display. Decent size and easily doable in one hour. Be sure to ask a volunteer to allow you to blow one of the ear-shattering whistles.
Great place to take the kidw. Very helpful and informative staff.
