If you are a true train fan, or visiting the Lancaster County area and looking for something other than an Amish or Mennonite attraction, this is the place to visit. I believe they said they have 100+ pieces of rolling stock under roof with dozens more in a yard outside. The equipment is amazing - well taken care of and in great condition. There is a large varirty of locomotives, freight cars and passenger cars from many generations. Volunteer and staff guides are helpful and knowlegable,

This place was near my motel ("The Red Caboose Motel, ironically) so I had to check it out. What a massive and cool space. I walked up and down each row of trains and also across the bridge in the middle. Really cool to see all of the different trains and also peek inside a few of them. There is a little Main Street USA set that is pretty cool, too with life size mannequins in the windows. There is also a section of miniatures that I loved photographing. Wasn't expecting so much cool stuff! There is an outdoor area that you don't want to miss. That is where all of the old abandoned, rusty trains are. Anyone into trains would love this museum and even if you are not specifically into trains — it's still really cool. They are just so massive and interesting. I was there almost 3 hours!

Great Museum, huge number of old trsain cars tell the history of the Railroad. Several activities for children. Plan to spend a couple hours with a lot of walkig. This is definetly a must see if you are in the area.

We enjoyed our afternoon at the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania. There are so many trains to see inside and outside. The day we were there, there was a Thomas the Tank Engine train ride going on across the street at the Strasburg Rail Road. There is so much space in the museum that it never felt crowded. We also appreciated the worker at the admission desk for telling us that the only bathrooms are near the entrance.

Great Destination ! Very large with displays and equipment both inside and outside. Plan on at least a couple of hours or more if you're a railfan. You can get above and below some of the displays and depending on which volunteers are there; some are open for visits. Price is one of the best deals around - and Yes, I'll go again. Since it is across the street from the Strasburg RR (Not Related), you can easily get your fill of trains in one day. Now to sort out the dozens of pictures that I took........

The museum is a very modern in presentation. There are many interactive displays for all ages. All the displays have accompanying descriptions. Many have a video as well. Much of the railroad equipment has been restored. There are examples that cover two centuries of rail transportation. A group of repeating videos add an interesting panorama of railroad history. As middling train buffs, we learned a lot. Entrance to exit our visited was about two hours.
