The Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania sits on 18 acres of land in the heart of the Amish countryside. More than 100 historic locomotives and railroad cars are contained in the huge facility, and a walkthrough of the museum will educate any visitor on the history of American railroading.
Opened in 1975, the museum has indoor and outdoor displays, an education center, and a large library and archives. Interactive exhibits are sure to delight; visitors can try a simulator on a real locomotive or peer at the underside of a 62-ton railcar. The museum’s restoration shop can be viewed on closed circuit television. The museum is handicap accessible and has a nice gift shop.
