Welcome Back! We are now open!

 Yep, it’s a sure sign that spring is just around corner. The Robins are trickling back into the area. Thousands of geese are heading back north and resting in the empty corn fields around the area. And the most important sign of all is …. The Railroad Museum is back open for the year!

This is going to be a very exciting year. We have new rest room facilities being built. The Engineers Tool Shed, Car Shops, Sand House and south end Water Closet buildings will all be restored during the spring and summer. We have a full line up of events and a couple special surprise events that are still being finalized that we will tell you about a little later down the road.
