2010 - Vacation - Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania

We'd planned on looking in at this place and I wish we'd allowed at least half a day for this. If you're a kid, ever have been a kid, or ever enjoyed a train ride, or watching TV specials about train rides, or ever enjoyed The Trains at Northpark, then you need to see this place. Glynda wasn't really too hot on going into the museum and we had all we could see in the rolling stock outside so that's where we spent our time. But if I ever go back there I'm going to spend several hours in the museum and I'm going to ride their train (a 45 minute ride). I borrowed one picture from their website (check out the website here) so you can get an idea of the size of the place but even that doesn't do a good job of it. They have restored many rail cars and locomotives and most are inside in the museum. They are still actively restoring others and they're adding to the buildings. If you remember - most of the trains on your monopoly board were from Pennsylvania.

This is the train you can ride.
