Having accidentally deleted my original review this one won't accurately show the time frame that we were there which was early August of 2017. I only make note of it in case anything has changed to make the museum unworthy of a good review since our visit, though I can't think of what that might be.
This was a great way to spend about an hour and a half. I must suggest however that if you are taking young children, wake them up earlier than usual for a Saturday or Sunday morning so that they can squeeze in a nap beforehand. My 3 year old grandson became very fussy & impatient before we made it back to the station.
The seats, when originally built, were intended for two people. I think that people must be larger these days. If you are a large person, you may want to consider purchasing two for yourself. There is a unique feature of the seats in that they can be flipped so that you face the passengers in the seat that would normally be behind you. There are a couple of great photo ops. We were not in an air conditioned car, I understand that they do exist but, the cars were not air conditioned during the era when they were originally built. I prefer to experience the train as it would have been then. Free, cold, bottled water is available at the entrance/exit to each car which was very welcome and much appreciated.
My only complaint is that if you get off of the train
when it stops at the bridge, which is the halfway point, you are not guaranteed the seat you had when you started because the seating is not assigned.
