The Museum of American Railroad was founded in 1962 and is located in Frisco, showcasing an expansive collection of steam, diesel, passenger, and freight railroad artifacts. Notable locomotives on display include the Union Pacific Big Boy 4-8-8-4 #4018, the 1942 St. Louis-San Francisco Railway 4-8-4 #4501, and the Santa Fe #2404 EMC NW2 diesel, the railroad’s second-oldest locomotive still in existence.

Historic structures such as the 1905 Houston & Texas Central Railroad Depot and Gulf, Colorado, and Santa Fe Railroad Interlocking Tower 19 are also showcased. While train excursions are not offered at the museum, a large number of locomotives and cars are open to the public for climb-aboard exploration. Guided museum tours are available on select dates with advance registration, including school group field trips.
