9 Best Train Museums to Visit in the U.S.

"Managed by the National Park Service, Steamtown offers special tours, demonstrations of railroad technology, train rides, and both indoor and outdoor displays; I recommend starting with the 18-minute orientation film "Steel and Steam," then exploring the rolling stock in the roundhouse and joining a guided tour of the Locomotive Repair Shop. For a scenic short ride, I would get a ticket for the "Scranton Limited" yard shuttle, a three-mile round-trip that crosses the Lackawanna River and stops at the University of Scranton." - Lydia Mansel Lydia Mansel Lydia Mansel is a writer with more than eight years of experience editing and writing for both brands and online publications—with a particular focus on travel, fashion, and lifestyle.
