This was an amazing museum to visit! A must see in Baltimore. Starting with the ease of parking...Right onsite and FREE!

As you moved through the roundhouse it felt like you were following a cohesive storyline through the early history of the railroad.

I love that the museum is what remains of the old train yard and the number and variety of train cars is remarkable.

The roundhouse was my favorite part, because it gives a true feel for what goes on in a roundhouse—the cars are stationary, but seeing the actual tracks is eye-opening.

We did the train ride and our guide on board was excellent (history/information for the parents).
