Neat museum at the west end of the Iowa Traction Railway. They were closed the day we happened by there, but one of volunteers spotted us in the parking lot and stepped out of the shop to chat with us for a bit. Look forward to visiting again when they are open.
Amazing Owner Stan. Wonderful man. He gave us a tour, told us railroad history and allowed my 6 year old daughter to drive a steam train. We had the time of our life. My daughter didnt want to stop ringing the train bell. Also toured an old trolly and Stan even allowed us inside his awesome station. My daughter loved the train book he gave her. Would recommend 100 times over!
It felt a little like we'd broken into someone's garage.nThe old trains are pretty cool and there could be some good history. It's okay for restorations to be in-progress, but the outdoor space needed some tending with actual railings, etc. and the indoor space is cluttered with non-train junk that is overflowing, it needs a dumpster. Also, there was no actual documentation/ signage to know what we were looking at.nIf it hadn't been raining our kids would have enjoyed running around the grassy field but with rain there was no safe space for them indoors.
We Got to talk to the gentleman that owns it...Very Nice and and very informative! We really enjoyed our visit...there was so much to look at and see and ask about!
I learned a lot and what fun.
