Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania, located on Route 741 just east of Strasburg, opened in 1975. It is across the street from the Strasburg Rail Road, though the two are actually completely separate entities.
The museum's more than 100 historic locomotives and railroad cars chronicle American society on the move. Visitors may take the throttle on a simulated run in a real freight locomotive cab, climb aboard a caboose, inspect a 62-ton locomotive from underneath, view restoration activities via closed-circuit television, enjoy interactive educational programs, and more.
The Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania is administered by the Pennsylvania Historical & Museum Commission, with the active support of the Friends of the Railroad Museum.
