School's Out: Fueling America's Railroads Junior Tour | B&O Railroad Museum

Baltimore County Schools are off on Friday, Sept. 24 — Join us at the B&O for our kid-friendly Fueling America’s Railroads Junior Tour! In this tour, visitors will explore how the evolution of engine design has been influenced by the effect of types of fuel on the environment. Learn how the environment influenced railroads to switch from steam to diesel-electric engines and when the B&O Railroad started using electric power.

Tour is included with regular Museum Admission.

This was such an awesome experience! The trains inside were phenomenal and all very well kept. But we went ahead and did the train ride also and that was just icing on the cake! This is a great experience for kids, teens, and adults like myself.
