railway museums

Locomotive history displays

Railway museums preserve and display historic trains, locomotives, rolling stock, and railroad equipment.

They range from small collections in restored stations to sprawling sites with miles of track where vintage trains still operate.

Many feature restored depots, signal equipment, and artifacts from railroad history.

The kids loved riding the steam engine at the railway museum.
