It was Awesome to See this Cool Old Train! You have to call ahead and get permission... it is located on Private Property
Really neat to see. 🚂
This museum is not a building like most people think of when you say museum. This museum is the set of actual train cars sitting in an industrial yard. With that being said, I walked away very impressed and thoroughly enjoyed my visit. The gentleman that gave the tour was extremely knowledgable and seemed to really enjoy sharing his knowledge about trains and the history.
The museum includes a caboose, a sleeper car, a postal car, an old engine and a few more cars if I recall correctly. You get to walk through most of them and it really makes you feel like you are walking through a piece of history - all the while narrated with excellent information and my questions answered.
Call before you go (you can find the number on their website). I highly recommend this if you find trains fascinating. One other note - you will have to climb up into the cars so it does require the ability to pull yourself up while holding onto a handle. Wear rubber soled shoes and comfortable clothes.
