    Outstanding History

    Wonderful to see locomotives and cars that used the rails when I was a youngster. Very impressive displays well worth the time and effort to view them.

    Whoo, whoo! Train lovers paradise.

    There were so many partially and fully restored trains to explore. The exhibits of train memorabilia were well-displayed and informative. The train ride was just long enough and provided a great amount of information.

    He will be able to see everything in the building. The yard will require jumping over some tracks.

    $12 for adults $7.50 for 2-10 y/0 Free under two We took a 3 y/0 and 18 month. They both lived it. The train ride does add more to the admission but both our grandchildren liked that too.
