âThis place is awesome! If you are interested in trains and you like history of things go here. You won't regret it. David came up and started telling me about this steam engine and he knew everything. The exact mechanics of how it worked, all the historical information, the differences between other steam engines, insights into being a conductor back in the Era of steam engines. He was great at conveying the information so you stayed hooked to what he was saying, and gave further information about other railway museums and functions around the state. He was a pretty smart guy. They have a good selection of engines and cars to check out, and a cool little gift shop. I would highly recommend this experience to any train enthusiasts. It's worth it. Thanks David, you're awesome.â
