Don't let this place fool you. It's a great place to visit. The museum is really small and disappointing but the tour through the different train cars really made it great! Our tour guide was wonderful and knowledgeable about the railroad, the different train cars, and it's history. It's worth a visit if you are in the area.
My husband and I stopped by here on vacation since he likes trains. We had a great time! Our tour guide was so knowledgeable and passionate about what he was doing. We were able to tour the train and see how the cars were set up when the train was in use. There is also a two floor self guided museum that allows you to explore railroad history. For someone who knew absolutely nothing about trains prior, I had a really good time. This place is definitely worth a visit!
The Civil War History (including tie in to Lincoln and his Presidency) is a reason to visit this little museum.
It was a great experience. The building was restored beautifully. The tour of the passenger trains was very detailed, and the guide answered any questions we had.
Quite intriguing how common phrases morphed into other meanings too
Although the cars and engines don't move ... it is a good thing to walk through the restored cars to have an appreciation for the work and lives of those who manned these cars. (Including the dangers they faced)
Nice museum in an historic rail station. Nicely restored passenger cars to go through with a knowledgeable guide. Worth the visit.
The model train layout is very detailed and if you do enjoy this hobby, you can also find info on the model railroad group here as well (it is nice to see the creativity of others in scale ...). There is also info on the pullman cars and their employees.
