The name is deceptive as it's not a railroad museum. We were disappoint road construction suspended most activities

Very disappointed. Because I had a camera bag and tripod, I was questioned about being a professional photographer. I tried to explain that I was NOT a pro photographer that I was meeting a friend and we were going to take photos of the outside of the trains in the yard. I was told that I needed to call and make appointment and was given several pages of contracts with prices per hour to photograph the museum. My friend also an AMATEUR did take some photos of the rust on the box car. I took no photographs and will advise other photographers in our group of amateurs to avoid this location.

Wish we could have got into the trains parked outback to see the insides but was still cool checking them out. Be sure to look at the steam locomotive.

A small museum that could use a little renovation, but all in all worth the trip if you are in town. Tells the story of the local railroads and how the town came to be. For $4 you can't go wrong. Free if you are active military.
