Join us for this year’s First Responders Showcase as we honor those that serve as emergency personnel.

First Responders Showcase is an all-day event to educate and learn about the work that emergency personnel do. Take the 11:30 AM or 1:30 PM train ride to tracks along the Museum’s restoration shop for a demonstration of a controlled collision between a train and an automobile and the extrication process used to help save lives when such incidents occur.

Join us at 12:30 PM for an Honor Guard presentation by the Baltimore City Fire Department, located in the backyard by the Model Train Garden.

Fire and Police Departments will be on-site, displaying equipment and safety gear and answering any questions from attendees.

Operation Lifesaver will be present with giveaways and educational materials for children.

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.
