If you LOVE trains , this is the place for you! Something there for fans of all ages. Take the short train ride , climb in the engineers ' compartment. Don't miss the Railway Post Office car!

This 40-acre indoor/outdoor train museum features ten trains to explore, a repair-shop tour , and history exhibits . Don't miss the Turntable where a train rotates with all the smoke and whistles.

With so many exhibits and programs, give yourself at least two hours to walk through the whole museum . A railroad buff could spend a whole day with the different tours and train rides available.
