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

"I was struck by the museum's wide array of railroad equipment used on California and Nevada lines, especially the awe-inspiring Southern Pacific cab forward that ran over the Sierra Nevada; must-see exhibits include the Golden Spike Exhibit Gallery, the Chinese Railroad Workers' Experience, and Farm-to-Fork: A Public History. The museum is especially kid-friendly, with music, stories about building the original transcontinental railroad, and a toy train exhibit that helps bring the history to life." - 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.
