Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania

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

"With more than 100 locomotives and railroad cars, I found the museum's large climate-controlled indoor display of meticulously restored steam, diesel, and electric equipment impressive, and it also features a large operating model railroad. For a scenic complement to a visit, there is nearby access to the Strasburg Railroad, which offers 45-minute train rides through Lancaster County, and the museum provides virtual tours of select equipment if you can't make the trip in person." - 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.
