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.

Wonderful rail museum with many historic engines, passenger cars, mail car, troop transport, and more. Several models layouts including the Smithsonian collection of models which was amazing. Wonderful presentation on the underground railroad. We will visit again.
