Visiting the Great Plains Transportation Museum in Wichita is like taking a step back in time to the heyday of the American railroad. The museum preserves and showcases a wealth of railroading history in the Great Plains region. Here you will find a wide variety of vintage railroad equipment on display, including the last two steam and diesel locomotives built in Sante Fe. The indoor museum is also chock-full of railroad memorabilia including photographs, documents, equipment and much more. The museum hosts its popular Rail Fest each year in October, when visitors get the chance to hop aboard one of the historic trains for a short ride.
