Excellent place to visit! I hope this place stays open for a long time! The museum is in a set of train cars. Me and Andy X learned more about trains in this museum then anywhere else thanks to our helpful guide, Brian. We loved his model train layouts and all of his knowledge about trains and the history of the area. The staff there is wonderful. We will definitely be back!

Great place!nWe visited on a Saturday morning, we had the whole place to ourselves. The staff gave our kid a plush toy to take home with her, and the kids play area kept our little one entertained for awhile. There is ton of historical stuff displayed throughout the train, and there is a fabulous model train display.

We were looking for a train museum to bring our son to during our vacation & found this online. What we didn't realize was the museum was an actual train! Our son is a train enthusiast & loved going into all the cars, the engine & the tender. He also enjoyed the model train layout. The staff was very friendly & knowledgeable. Toby the mascot dachshund was adorable & continued through the tour with us. They have train books, magazines & DVDs to take. My son chose a series of Lionel DVDs which was missing one & Diane very nicely offered to send it to him if she has it. We spent about an hour but the staff encouraged us to stay longer if we wanted. It was an interesting change of pace instead of the usual type of train museums.

Absolutely loved this place. My girlfriend and I went there a few weeks ago and it was amazing. The tour guide was excellent and one of the best tour guides we've ever encountered. He was very knowledgeable and taught us more than the past 3 mesuems had taught us. I would highly recommend this mesuem. It looks small when you pull up but it has so much to offer. Plus the great thing is they gave us 2 train books we will cherish for a long time. Thanks again, we can't wait to come back soon!
