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.

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