This is a great place to visit for both train and non-train buffs. This is a large museum. There are so many trains and exhibits that I didn't have time to see everthing.

My Family enjoyed our visit to this museum. We are not railroad 'buffs', we just thought it would be interesting to see. The museum has a good website that lists their events. I would say you can go thru the museum in an hour and a half, longer to see take the tour of the restoration area. Then just cross... more
