Reviews of Cody Park Railroad Museum (Museum)

Always awesome to see pieces of history. The yellow engine has artifacts in it and it's in Cody Park, which is full of animals, ice cream, a kiddie carnival and all the fun times.

Nice quick stop off 80. Kids loved the locomotives. You can go inside both and it's all free!

You have to see these locomotives! Sheer size alone will leave you in awe! Very nice place to pack a picnic lunch and enjoy these majestic giants that helped make America what she is today!

Staci Caralis

Great visit !!

Mark Gefaller

Great place for families.

Ligia Christensen

A great place to learn and teach your kids about steam or oil engine. It's free and you can see a close up of the engineer's control. This is no tourist trap, but unfortunately someone broke one of the gages inside. That's why we end up paying for every thing, in order to compensate the expenses of those irresponsible people.

Amazing park!

It's pretty small but the steam engine train one of the only ones in the world it's a huge steam engine you can climb into it while I'm into the maol car friends are going to the passenger cars even the Caboose it's pretty awesome The Wheels on the steam engine Drive are five feet high

Not a single update made in years to this display. Want people to visit the display? Give them something new once in awhile to look at.

Mail 8888

This place has LOT of Class. Highly recommended. Very friendly lady at the Depot.

Mona Carver

Fun place

Craig Luesebrink

Was wonderful getting to see a fairly well preserved steam engine of this size. Also having a "Centennial" right next door and being able to check out the cab was impressive. You really can't get a sense of the immense size of these once great iron giants until right next to them.

joel bahl

An excellent chance see railroad history, the UP 3977 Challenger 4-6-6-4 is one of two left and the cab is available to the public. The 6922 DD40X diesel is an awesome sight and the cab is also open to the public. The original Hershey depot is full of history, as are the passenger cars/caboose being pulled by the two-tone gray challenger steam locomotive. The 3977 was built in June of 1943 - stop and visit us in North Platte Nebraska.

Nathan Anderson

Absolutely awesome

Jon Lunsford

Lots of fun. Really enjoyed walking through the locomotives and rail cars.

J Short

Nice setup with just a couple of trains. Maybe not worth a stop if you are just driving past, but well worth it if you happen to be staying in town.

Mark & Kitty Kielisch

Nice, small, clean, and not crowded.

Helen Kramer

Away fun to go

Connie M Traver

I loved the trains,a lot of history.

Mark Nelson

Very cool, family loved it,

Clint Harrison

Very Cool, nice people and learned interesting things about Trains; they allow you to climb up on them as well :)

Donald Roy

Excellent place to get up close and personal with the locomotives! And it is totally free! However, leaving donations is a must, since I'm sure it's all volunteers that run it, and it takes a lot to keep them running. Thank you North Platte

Cc UwU

Love the history of these trains!

JR Fulmer

It was GREAT,!!!!!!!!

Jerry Barnes

Great place to visit. Up close view of trains you can't usually get close to. Their Railroad Days in Sept is a great event also.

Wished there was a souvenir stand.

Great place to take kids

John Lane

Took our group here on our way East from Ogden and loved the up close access to the Challenger

Andy Roltgen

Awesome

Robert Nichols

Its small but worth the effort if your a train lover.

Drew King

So this is a bit of a mixed review. The site is the very back of Cody Park in a bit hard to find if you're not from the area. But it is very well worth the visit. very few places can you see a beautifully detailed Union Pacific Challenger locomotive or a Union Pacific DDX diesel engine. the site includes several box cars and Passenger cars with a very cute Museum that you walk through between two passenger cars. There is also a station house that has bathrooms and an attendant. I feel in some ways that the museum was a bit of an afterthought is a place to store the locomotives and I wish there was a bit more presentation. The museum display itself is unescorted and you just walk through without much interpretation going on. for a small Museum they have several incredible artifacts that should be seen so don't let that prevent you from visiting. Expect to spend about an hour at this place. Excellent photo ops!

Richard Knoop

Good display, go see it!

Ross family vlogs Ross family vlogs

My favorite place to visit at the park

ELIZABETH Barnhill

Love the rail yard

Phil Willey

A nice little destinatiin if you happen to be in the area. If you are not a lover of trains it might not be worth driving to only for this. It is pretty neat walking through the old trains though it doesn't take too long. The museum is very small,but it was staffed by a kind woman the day we walked through.

Jesse Hall

Great place, especially for free. Great for kids and adults.

Brad Ellis

We loved the trains. A lot of information

Brad Conklin

For a self lead attraction, I thought this was a great place for the kids to see a touch of the past.

Lora M

One of North Platte's fun and free experiences! Climb up into several different historic train engines and cars. Postal cars complete with mail bags and slots for mail throughout nebraska and colorado, bathrooms, sinks, storage, beds.... lots of ways to view the history of past railroad workers. My kids loved it here, as did I!

Rosemary Corey

Great!

shasta chavez

Nice museum. Largest train we've seen.

David Giles

If you like trains this is the place for you. Up close and unfettered access to all items including the incredible 1 million pound 4 6 6 4 Challenger

Brian Nordstrom

Fun little stop. It won't take a ton of time to climb around on the trains and look at things, but there are a few playgrounds nearby if you are looking for something to get the kids out of your hair.

Heather Ramsey

Great in person experience with the trains.

Alli King

As a railroad fan it is always nice to be able to physically touch pieces of history such as these
