Reviews of Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania (Museum)

Terri Simmers

Born and raised not far from here and haven't been since grade school (I'm 64). Hubby and I loved it!!! 45 minute train ride with lunch. Time before ride and after to walk through the museum. The trains and info in museum are AMAZING. Go early and spend all day. During the train ride you can get off at Cherry Crest. Activities for kids with a corn maze in the fall and food/snack stands.

There is no word that can describe how great this place is from the amazing locomotives to the friendly staff

Shannon Sloan

Went there for the first time today with my fiance and his son. We had a great time! There was so much to see and it was larger than I had imagined. The only thing I really had an issue with is that about a third of the interactive exhibits (touch screens, railroad signals, and some of the model trains in the little room off to the left) were not functioning which really disappointed my fiance's son. Other than that we had a great time and will be back!

Mary Cahilly

Wonderful sample of America!

Abuhena Azad

Great experience for kids who love/obsessed with trains. The museum is clean. Got to learn a bunch. Not a lot of people notice the 2nd floor Lionel set or observation bridge. I do wish some of the coach/passenger cars could be entered.

Charlie R

Went over the weekend and had a blast. The place is huge with over 100 trains from the past and present. A lot of exhibits around a some trains you can get in and walk around. They also have a room where kids can build a train themselves and another room with a small scale train yard. Price is decent and get a discount if you have AAA.

Isabel Swanson

Beautiful new display of trains from all the way back in 1800 all restored.could spend a whole day there

Kimberly Brown

This place is so neat! Up close to all the trains. They have a replica train station and everything is down to the last detail. Amazing!

Hilary Ennis

Lots of fun. Great place to take your family. It's amazing to look at all the history in one building.

Joseph Marciano

Great place to see trains and passenger cars you can get in some trains you can get into locomotives beautiful old scenic waiting stations lots to see about a two hour visit. Great place took over 100 photos. Climate control as well.

Samantha Norris

Very kid friendly. Great staff. They recently made some changes and the inside is looking great.

Paul Noah

Being from the western US, we are familiar with similar museums in CA, NV & CO. The PA museum has equipment not familiar to a westerner. Some very well restored examples too boot. The broad scope of the collection makes a visit a great experience.

shine manuel

Verry educational and beautifull lancastor.

Erik Rosekrans

Fantastic museum!! Many locomotives and train cars on display. It's huge! An absolute must see if you're a train buff and still worth a visit even if you have minimal interest in trains. One of the 2 best train museums in the USA in my opinion (the other being in Sacramento, CA).

Joseph Scarfo

The Pennsylvania Railroad Museum is the finest Railroad Museum you would ever Experience. Its got well maintain Railroad equipments and old signals display, & Tools that they used to Maintain the Railroads in the Heydays! Just $10 admission to Experience all the Railroads memorabilia! Don't spend a Hour, Spend a Day to Witness all the early years of Railroading!

marti Cibella

Fun,interesting visit.

Daniel James

If you love trains, this museum must be visited. A fabulous collection of steam and electric, the inside can provide hours of exploration. I was lucky enough to be allowed to go into one of the trains and sit in the chair as if I was driving. Never realized there would be soooo many gauges and levers. Much more than you see in many movies. After a few hours, I made my way to the outside, which offers not only many engines and railroad cars, but the roundabout. After you are finished touring, make you way across the street and take a lovel train ride on the Strasburg Railroad!

Kimberly T

Surprised my son with a trip to this place and he LOVED it!! He's all about trains and he was in train heaven. He even received a handmade gift for his birthday from the blacksmith!

saravanan gobi

Good place for small kids to explore old rail models and kids play area is fun with trains & track changing models

JJ R.

We had a great time here. Lots of trains inside and out to. It's alot bigger then it seems. I would recommend this place to all age groups.

Molly Hastings

Train tables for the win! Such a great stop for the kids. Thanks for having fresh batteries in all the cars that "go". Restored locomotives pretty outstanding, too. One suggestion, angled mirrors above the epic Lego build would really improve visibility for the kids, and vertically challenged adults.

Eric Waciega

Quality of displays is very impressive. Trains are in great condition and everything is clean and well lit. There is a nice model train display and things for kids to touch and see. It is also very close to other train activities.

Lucerito B

My kids love trains and it was an awesome place to visit.

darrin brantley

I visited this place whilst on holiday in Pennsylvania, Although I am not a great train lover I was very impressed with this museum. Hours and hours must have been spent restoring and maintaining this massive amount of various locomotives. This is a real walk through the ages of American locomotives of which some you can walk in and explore. The venue is spotless with free parking and reasonable entry prices with veterans and elderly people subsidised. The guy on reception was really helpful like the rest of the volunteers who I met during my visit. The place is full of history and facts and well worth a visit if you like engineering, history and locomotives if you are in the area.

WH J

Third time to visit. The collection of equipment is well housed and much time, effort, and money has been expended to preserve it. There are exhibits for all age groups. Several docents are around to explain different aspects of the railroad rolling stock and the sub systems that supported operations. Make sure to go out in the yard if it is open. There are several interesting engines and cars out there and a round table. The yard is easy to miss if you do not know about it ahead of your visit.

Bram Warrick

It's really quite large and very well kept. The person who sold is the tickets have is a recommendation, and he was right: start upstairs. Cool model train display that you can walk around completely and after that you can walk out above the many different engines and view from above. It underscores the number and range of engines on display. A fun exhibit, if you have time, I recommend "driving" a train. It's along the back wall and even though the train doesn't move, it's executed well enough you body will still feel the movement. Cool stuff. Good place for almost anyone. Kids and train enthusiasts will definitely enjoy, but I think almost anyone will. The price is adorable besides.

Chris Schwab

A must go for railroad fans. Beautiful railcar of PA.

Rolando Scott

A must place to visit. Great history. Wow! We enjoyed touring the entire complex after taking our throw back train ride.

Lisa Absher

Love it very educational and beautiful

Raymond Ellis

This is a great museum. Numerous historical trains are on exhibit with many from the old PA RR. The exhibits and signs were also interesting and informative

Kale Golden

Awesome train museum with a great collection of indoor real trains and an awesome interactive scale and toy train area. Plenty of space and staffed by friendly volunteers.

mary

Great place to go and learn about the railroad and take a ride.

Alyssa Evans

Amazing trains old steem ones and i recommend you to ride the big train

Joanna Reinoehl

This was really a neat place to go visit. Its pretty huge! We didnt plan for more that 3 hrs and next time will plan on going early to actually have time to really look at all the trains. Both the kids loved it 9 and 17 they were excited to just go but once there they really enjoyed seeing and learning about all the trains and were dissapointed when our time was up and we had to go. Definetly a place to stop and visit. Our family arent train enthusiasts we were just looking for something to do that was unique to the area and we had a great time and were impresed and sad to leave everyone wanted to stay longer.

Philip Reger

Excellent display of train locomotives, cars of all types, and ages.

Mark Stern

Our boys loved the museum. More hands-on exhibits would make it better.

Janice Wagner

It's a great place for kids and adults. Very informative and great old trains.

Gregg Obst

Museum is awesome. Very informative, fun and full of historic machines. Great for photographer's. They allow tripods too.

Kathleen Herr

I learned how absolutely crucial railroads are to USA's history and industrial development.

Maria Teh Awesomes :3

My friend and I had a blast just walking around, the staff were super friendly. The room with the toy trains was fascinating too! It was quite warm out because it was August but there's air conditioning in all the buildings we survived

Ed Martin

Knowledgeable and friendly staff!

Stephanie Biechy

Admission prices were good. The history involved in the railroad is so much fun to learn about. It is neat that you can go in and out of the different rail cars during your visit. There are railcars inside and outside that you can see.

Todd Ahern

This is definitely more fun to visit in the winter when there's no one around. It's a bit of a madhouse in the summer. All kinds of trains from the mid-1800's to the 1960s.

Amanda Lombardi-Foss

So much fun! I enjoyed it. But I loved how much my husband liked it.

Ken Christy

My son loved it here. He's just under three years old. Trains to him are mostly to shows (Thomas, chuggington) so he was shocked at how big everything is. I just wish more of the trains were open to see the insides instead of walk past static displays.

Samantha T

Good fun for train enthusiasts or kids. It's a nice half day out as it doesnt take more than 45 minutes for the train ride and maybe an hour for the museum

Martha Coleman

Amazing museum, awesome for children, some great information and working displays that the kids can work themselves with supervision.

Jack Hamilton

Very nice place and the people are very friendly and knowledgeable

Ev Feight

Excellent collection of railway locomotives and equipment. The facilities are excellent as were the people running the programs. Make sure you do the train ride. In summer, spring, and fall do the open window car.

Zoe Mossberg

Enjoyed this a great deal.

Brian Wall

Just awesome machines well documented and preserved. They have tangible history you can't fake. People of all ages should really appreciate what these fine people have accomplished here. What a treasure! ALL ABOARD.

Lee Slusser

A great collection of engines in a nice, clean, warm viewing area with plenty of explanatory materials. Very interesting and entertaining if you are into trains. Most, although not all, of the displays are accessible. Plenty of parking. I only wish that it was in a more historically important railroad location, like Altoona, where many of the engines were made.

Bernadette Broadhurst

What a wonderful way to spend the day with my son. We had a blast

Eli

What a great time, the staff is a really nice and welcoming. Thank you all for the wonderful work you guys do the kids had a blast with the interactive train carts and the train model challenge. It’s not expensive and a real gem of Lancaster.

Jack Stolze

If you like trains, this is a must see. Great collection of refurbished trains.

Ryan Kraus

Everything was great except for the tour of the shop. Don't waste your money on that.

Dawn Cable

We'll laid out and very educational. Went there after we re ode the Strasburg train. Definitely worth visiting.

Brian Galbraith

Great place to see some very nicely restored railroad history. Lots of steam engines in house. Very nicely set up and staff were great. Very reasonably priced too.

Jacob David Golden

An incredible experience for anyone who loves trains!

Carl Foreman

Good family stop, great if ya like trains.

Amos Keener

I took my children to the museum several times last year. This year we will be getting a season pass. Very educational and interesting. There is a area with for kids to build trains and operate model trains. Climate controlled environment so its a nice outing anytime of year. Pricing is fair for the amount of time you can spend looking at all the displays. There are a few trains which you are able to climb up and explore.

Martin Pickering

I love train's

Peter Ducharme

Awesome oh, there are lots of volunteers, they are well educated about the trains they're representing. The museum is huge there are lots of locomotives to look at and explore. There are many trains for the kids to play with, we enjoyed ourselves immensely and hope to go back someday there's a beautiful train operates as a ride that brings you back to the old days of train travel. Real fun place to visit lots of things to see it's a must do if you come to Lancaster Pennsylvania.

Jens Klump

Fantastic collection of American locomotives and rolling stock, very well presented.

Terry Sellman

So many great train engines and pieces from 1800's. Don't drive by this one

C Garcia

Great experience for kids of all ages, including fully-grown. Went here with two very young kids. The staff are good with them and find a way to provide engaging info. Otherwise cool to see all the trains.

Robert Horton

A vast zeppelin hangar filled with meticulously maintained railroad cars. Plus a children's area with everything from basic Brio tables to intricate HO-scale beauties. Worth the visit.

Robert Woodruff

It was awesome. We loved every minute

J Roll

Great museum for young and old. We learned so much from the friendly volunteers. We really appreciated all of the hard work that went into preserving these historical gems.

Katie Harkins

I love this place. They have a lot of cool trains to see and its overall just really cool. Theres also some cool interactive things to do there like shoveling "coal" and running model trains. I definitely recommend checking it out

David Hou

We visited RMOP on a Smithsonian Magazine's Museum Day. We didn't have too high an expectation partly due to the pricing of admission, which is only $10 for a regular adult ticket. But we ended up having a great time. After spending the morning on a hot day across the street at Day Out with Thomas event, it felt so nice to be indoors where it's air conditioned!! The entrance is on the main road, and it's a long walk from the parking lot. Just follow the arrows and signs. I loved the atrium just inside the entrance, as well as the facade outside. Their modern designs were stark contrast to the historic theme and exhibits. The main hall houses numerous locomotives from different eras and technologies - stream, electric, and diesel. You can get onto a few of them. Just keep an eye out on signs at each train. It's a great place to go back in time and admire the grandeur of these monstrous steel decapods. My favorites are No. 1223, John Bull, and the 20 Tahoe. Then there's the interactive section which is on the first isle street set immediately to the right as you enter the main hall. There you can find the Western Union telegraph demonstration, a short video presentation, a long stretch of model trains and rails which you can have hands-on control and switching, and finally a meticulously built miniature model village and railroad layout with trains moving through them. Don't forget the train yard outside to the right of the main hall, the cat walk/observation bridge at the center divide for a good overlook, and the second floor gallery where you can find another miniature village, paintings, and numerous placards and exhibits.

Ronald Sallee

There are a lot of historic locomotives under one roof and even more outside.

Mark Gamble

Really good displays and info

Sean C

There is enough here for even the most picky RR enthusiast. From actual engines and cars to well detailed HO model layout. Also very good side exhibits and a great play area for the younger budding RR enthusiast.

Mari Mann

You don't need to love trains to love this place! Loads of history....

Mad Maxx

Excellent train displays! You can really get up close with the trains and other railroad memorabilia. The interactive displays are good and the model train display is quite nice and very detailed. An amazing place to see real trains up close!

DuBBINHaM

Amazing place , the kids love it ! Very awesome for kids into Thomas and those who aren't will even end up loving and enjoying it! Very recommended!

Debbie Loyer

Very interesting. Lots of trains to see, although you can only get on a few. Very knowledgeable and friendly guides. Wear your walking shoes because the place is huge!

Vito Labella

Great place to see American history or train train transportation

Masih Khan

Reached late after visiting Toy train museum nearby. This museum has over 100 exhibits and is in a climate controlled environment when the temperature outside was over 100 F. Got a limited time tickets for $7 for adults and kids. The place is nicely maintained and exhibits are explained well by staff. Worth the visit and even more fun if I could have taken my kids to Strasburg Rail trip opposite to this museum. Definitely worth a visit.

Abhilash c

It is a great museum. You can spend 2-3 hours easily here looking at the history of these majestic machines

C Finkelstein

This place is incredible. I had no idea there was a train museum like this. It is an entire train station with at least 30 trains inside. You are able to enter some of the trains and explore. My kids really enjoyed it and I would visit again in the future.

Nathan Stock

Last time i was there before today was in 2015 or 2016 with my grand parents so about three or four years ago, im 17 years old now and still coming with them so i had a great time today.

Chris Cocuzza

Fun for all.

Jim Blomberg

Great place to visit. If you like trains.

Joanna Polisena

Wonderful museum! Loved every minute.

Jason Richard

Amazing museum. You can visit it in any type of weather as most of the trains are in the climate controlled building. There are a few cars and engines you have access to at certain times. It's a little bit of the beaten path in Amish country.

Jonathan Kramer

A very nice museum with plenty of trains, would have been better if it wasn't so cold out side so we could have looked at the ones that were outside.

Chris Gatti

Everything about The Railroad Museum is great. The folks working here are very knowledgeable and take their time to answer questions. The park is very clean and well kept. Great value for the cost and even the gift shop prices are good.

Arnold Harner

Great collection, very clean.

Kassandra Haz

Beautiful place to learn about history of the rails.

Gerry Ponterio

Great visit, top notch museum and staff was helpful and friendly. Highly recommended.

Dale Garver

It was excellent. A massive display of virtually every type of locomotive. Many you can climb up into the cab and actually sit in the engineers seat. There is also a staff member aboard to answer questions. If you love trains you will love this.

Abbygail Chavis

Absolutely a blast for children and families! We took our 2 year old son and he LOVED it. All of the staff was super friendly, happy, and helpful! You could tell they loved their jobs! We went on the train ride with the Easter bunny and the food was delicious and they were very knowledgeable along the whole ride! Tons of fun rides and activities for children! We will definitely be back! Thanks to the staff for the wonderful adventure!

Linda Bodero

We really enjoyed visiting this museum. We had guests from CA who are real train enthusiasts and it was a pleasure to have such a clean, well presented and well run attraction to be able to share with them. I highly recommend this museum to anyone who enjoys trains.

Kim Auger

We enjoyed our time at the museum. I wish additional rail cars could have been open for a walkthrough.what was open was very informative.

William Ernst

The last train run about 2 o clock that's early so if you're coming along ways and you get there a little late you're going to miss the train ride that's disappointing can't tell you anything about it never got in. ☹️

David S

What a wonderful experience! I have always loved trains and other big machinery, and this museum does not disappoint. I would say it's second only to the B&O Museum in Baltimore in terms of the number and variety of trains and artifacts, and it was only $10 for adults, and $9 with AAA discount, so it was more than worth it for the price. There are numerous steam, diesel, and electric locomotives and various passenger and cargo cars to see, and you can even walk onto or into a few of them. And best of all is there are a few volunteer guides manning some of the trains to offer up their expert knowledge of trains and the railroad. It was a great way to spend a couple hours and I'm so glad we finally decided to stop for a visit after passing by so many times over the years.

James Guenther

The history was astounding! The engines were just plain beautiful.

Cullen Reid

Great railroad museum.

Julie W

We've been to some train museums but this one takes the cake. Very nicely presented museum with many large trains and stuff for the kids to see and do as well. I suggest going across the street at some point and getting tickets for the short steam engine ride too. You get pretty countryside views and if you get tickets for the dining car you can have a nice lunch while in motion.

Ernest Vattimo

Great facility, amazing restorations. Highly recommend it!

Narinder Singh Bhatti

Good to add your knowledge about the Oldest Rail engines

Chad Yiengst

Great collection of trains with helpful staff to guide you through many exhibits. My 2 & 4 yr olds love it!

annah plays

If you love trains and history, this is THE place to be. They have a vast of vintage locomotors/trains. It is like walking into the past, it is fascinating. I also recommend taking the train ride. You will enjoy its history and the beautiful scenery.

Nauticaa Bluuwatr

Tons of Fun for mii Son .

Jeremy Miller

Took our 3 year old train loving son here. He loved it. He did want to go in all the trains, but you can only go in a few. The guy doing the demo of the one engine was very friendly and let my son play with all the knobs and levers. Gift shop was nice and had some things that weren't too pricey.

John Balogh

Great history and interactive kids exhibits.

Mary Rasa

Nice museum. Great collection.

Brian Mccollough

If you like mechanical things then this is a place you will enjoy. Beautifully restored locomotives and rail cars plus memorabilia. You walk through the front door and you can smell traces of oil and grease. It would be awesome to be able to crawl all over the equipment but I understand the liability that would be involved. Awesome place to visit. I will be back.

ronalt MkDonalt

My absolute favorite part of Amish country vacations. Such a pleasant tribute to a bygone era in American history with the perfect level of nostalgic touch.

David Engers

Ended up being a very cool stop. Spent maybe an hour and a half checking out the trains. You can go inside some of them, too. Staff was very kid friendly.

Daniel Kerwin

This Railroad museum is very interesting in regards to the history of the railroad. The locomotives and rail cars on display are restored, and you can get a hands on experience with them. Great place to spend an afternoon.

grapeape 3

Absolutely a 5 star review. They have a great collection of steam engines and older train cars along with a few diesel locomotives. The trains have been restored and look great. The people that work there have a lot of knowledge of the trains and history of Strasburg and the trains. My kids really enjoyed all the trains, the displays and the interactive displays they have. We'll be going back when we can. I highly recommend it. The only down side is that they close fairly early.

Marie Friedman

I always enjoy coming here! It's clean, there's a lot of trains to see. Across the street is a train station and you can get discount tickets to do both.

D Salik

The museum has incredible train cars, engines, and memorabilia. The exhibits show life around the railroad, including stores, how trains worked, models for kids to play with, and unusual railroad cars that can often be climbed on, as volunteers are there for visitors to talk to about the cars. For railroad fans, the museum has all three geared engines, historical diesel-electric engines, and an engine that you can go underneath so you can see how the breaks and boiler works. It's a must see...and easy to visit the neighboring railroad for a train ride. Definitely go, learn, and enjoy!

njacob69

Amazing museum on trains. I am not a train person but after this, I have a strong appreciation of its history. Detailed models as well. Great play center for children as well

Kenan Aden

This is a magical place of you're into steam/vintage railroads, but it is even better thanks to staff who truly care about your experience. Conductor Mark was amazing and made sure our little guys got a rare chance to ride in the caboose! ... And thanks to Dan at the Cranky Cars for keeping the little ones moving and for recommending where to go to buy a farm-fresh Thanksgiving turkey!

Charles Larkin

My visit time was a bit limited, but I plan to go back. A very nice museum with good exhibits.

Divakar B S

Very good collection of vintage locos

Anthony Stone

Amazing museum with more to look at than I had time for. I could spend HOURS, maybe even days taking in everything this place has to offer. I wish it was a bit more hands on, but then again this is history & must be preserved & maintained for decades to come. The volunteer staff are knowledgeable & passionate about trains & engines, it was nice chatting with them & learning! I look forward to coming back when the weather is warmer & going for a steam train ride & checking out the outdoor train yard.

Sonya Stover

Family fun for everyone

Robert Newman

Fantastic collection of railroadiana. Many interesting locomotives and other pieces of rolling stock. Nice interactive displays including g scale switching layouts.

Brenda J

What an amazing museum. Fun.

Eric Williams

Nice place to learn about the state's railroading past. Lots of interesting exhibits. The Strasburg Rail Road nearby gives very nice rides too, for the complete historic experience.

Jim Barron

Very impressive selection of engines and rolling stock. Good value. Friendly staff.

Keith Schmitt

This place is amazing. Had so much fun with the kids. There is so much to do and see. The staff is very knowledgeable. You can get through the whole thing in a few hours but there's model trains to play with that you could spend hours with. Does a train station across the street that you can go on rides.

Earle Bajus

Really nice and a good place to learn a little bit of history.

John Pennington

Wow ,. Immaculate collection of railroad equipment from Pennsylvania. Eat off the floor clean.

Scott Michels

Very cool to see Steam cars. Diesel Train's All kinds of neet thing ..Dads bring your children. They will see how the fright is moved. Thruout this Country....

Pavel Push

The museum could be divided for the 2 parts - huge hangar contained locomotives and the second part - sort of experience - ride on the old train. Few cars - coach, open cars, dinning car and first class. You can catch the ride every 45 min. The ride is along beautiful rural Dutch Country. Well, after all. The museum just a fantastic place to return back to on time and be again kids to believe in huge iron machine what could work out of miracle. Thank you for the amazing job for everyone who involved to the museum.

Frederick Meyers

Great train museum. My grandson loved the trains.

Kelly Hanrahan

Nice take your family to Lancaster pa to see rail road muesum

Victor Martinez

Nice to visit with family. Great experience. Reasonable prices.

Mike Williams

Well worth the money! Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Lots of things to do for kids and adults.

xiao lin

Good enough collections

Elaine Sanders

It's a big museum filled with old retired trains and it's so cool looking at them and learning there history. You can also go across the street and take a 45 minute train ride through Amish country.

Fred Potenza

Awesome Museum! Huge! Tons of original steam locomotives leading up to diesel engines. Several trains are open to walk through with lots of interactive information. In addition lits of train related items to see as well. Indoor and outdoor areas. AAA discount available.

Chris S

Was a very neat museum to check out, lots of diffrent trains from old to more modern. would be neat if more of them was open to view but its a very eventful place to check out.

Jonathan Gough

So much fun. Beautiful space. Lots and lots of trains to see. Have never been there when it was over crowded. Kid friendly. Lots of interactive things for kids to do and read. Engaging

David Shelleman

Is a really cool place to visit. A lot of good information and trains to see.

maria meis

Excellent place to go to learn about history

Eugene Salomon

Another great excursion thru the Railroad Museum with the grandson. We made a special trip to visit here because of all the unbelievable restored train engines and cars. Plus while visiting during Halloween, we were able to actually get inside some of the trains, learn about them and also get a treat from the many volunteers. Thanks for making it such a memorable trip and we'll be back to visit once again.

Kean Anspach

Fantastic locomotives, passenger and freight cars, with posted information about them. The staff is friendly and helpful. It was a very enjoyable experience.

Mr. Rogers

Single handedly the best railroad museum that I've ever been to. The collection of locomotives and rail cars on display is absolutely incredible. Everyone that we spoke to at the museum was incredibly friendly and very passionate about what they do. I hope they keep up the good work forever. This collection is really outstanding.

Mike Jordan

I've been to the Museum several times but not in years. I love all the Railroad History that is provided for Visitors to learn about.

Sean ODonnell

A true treasure in PA. Needs to be on everyone’s list !

Victor Watrous

This museum shows the history of the Pennsylvania Railroad and its successor, Conrail. The museum has a number of types of locomotives, including steam, diesel-electric, electric, and "fireless" steam. Also inside the expansive building are a number of passenger cars and older rolling stock. The museum also has displays paying tribute to the professions that it took to plan, build, and maintain the railroad. The second floor has a walkway for an overhead view of the trains and an impressive layout room showing various areas of the PRR track in HO scale. There is a very nice gift shop at the front of the museum that offers train-related artwork, literature, clothing, and many other things. If you enjoy trains, this is a wonderful museum to take in. As there are other train-related activities in the area, it is a good area in which to plan a vacation or a couple-days outing.

Jim Dymond

Really nice collection of trains That looks like they're going to be upgrading soon the outside area is not finished like the round table Inside the museum is well diner with really nice restored train engines Lots of exhibits lots of things for kids to do as well as all ages

Carol West

Great historical location with loads of information about trains. Across the road are actual train rides. A pleasant way to spend a few hours.

Dawn Gartner

We loved it here. Sooo much to see, worth the $10 admission. Theres a hundred pieces of impressive rolling stock inside. Would definitely like to return after trains outside are restored. If you love history as much as me, it's a must do.

Steve Marrazzo

A good place to see old PRR and other railroad equipment. Staff are very friendly and knowledgeable its also a great place for kids

Arthur Badger

If you love trains this is a good place for your family to see them up close.

Laura Cook

Great museum. Friendly, helpful staff. Doesn't look like much on the outside, but the inside is fantastic.

Joe Todd

Huge collection of old and not so old locomotives and rolling stock. Knowledgeable and friendly folks around to answer any questions.

Michelle Moody

Lovely place to visit if you love trains. I go along with the husband but this place is enjoyable. The fullsize trains are inside and you can climb on board most of them. There are plenty of benches throughout to stop and rest. There is even a snack area with vending machines if you need something to hold you over between meals. The kids have a fun section where they can run trains and play with Legos. There's a room where you can relax and watch a video. Definitely worth it if you combine it with a train ride across the street.

Bonnie Johnson

Love this place cant wait to go again

TheMrFailz

Really excellent setup they've got going there and most everything rolling stock / locomotive wise is well restored. Also, free access for active service / their families (sometimes retired as well).
