Great museum for kids! The rail car facing main street, can also be rented for meetings, parties, get togethers...
If you like railroading and railroading history, you'll love this NYC museum in Elkhart... The museum has some nice artifacts on the inside, including an operating O gauge model train set... It also has a lot of models on display in glass cases, as well as a large model of a steam engine.. Outside a lot of rolling stock, including a nice NYC 4-8-2 Mohawk steam locomotive... As a retired Engineer on another road, I enjoyed my visit and the folks who volunteer their time are great people..! At $5 for a senior it was well worth it.. I think the standard charge is $6.. One more note, if you are a train watcher you'll have a front row seat as you watch train after train roll by right in front of the museum...! Also, you are right on Main St. in downtown Elkhart, so lunch or dinner is right up the road... I would definitely recommend a visit here...
My 3 year old LOVES trains!! This is one of the Best museums we've visited. The only thing that would make this more awesome is an actual train ride. I remember coming to this museum when I was little, so to be able to bring my son was pretty special. They have really ramped up their exhibits in the last 20 years.
Excellent little museum with a large collection. Some of the rolling stock is one of a kind, with the 4-8-2 Mohawk on display being the last one in existence. Plus, how many museums actually let you go into the cab and engine compartment of a historic diesel locomotive?
This is a great place for train buffs to visit and for anyone who is fascinated by the history or railroads and trains. You can see an extensive selection of artifacts and historic photos of the early days of railroading, plus a huge model train exhibit and finish your visit by checking out its collection of historic locomotives and train cars.
