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

"I appreciate how this museum foregrounds the Black history behind train travel, honoring the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters as the first Black labor union in the U.S. and highlighting the vital roles Black men and women served as maids and porters during the Pullman era. It's currently closed for expansion but set to reopen this year; 2025 also marks its 30th anniversary and the 100th anniversary of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters." - 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.
