Several weeks ago I was able to visit the PRR Museum in Strasburg, PA. It is right across the street from the Strasburg Tourist RR. I didn't have enough time to ride that train, but was able to walk through the museum for a couple of hours. A great place to visit if you are ever in the area.
They have quite a model railroad collection in various places in the building.
Right inside the main entrance is a collection of rail posters and pictures.
They have on display a number of old steam engines.
My favorites are the old diesels and electrics. That blue looking steam engine is a firless steam unit. Ask Whooz about it. He's and expert on them.
Some nicely restored freight and passenger cars, too.
Outside are some units in various stages of repair. Could that have been a Broadway Limited Observation car?
I was able to see a Strasburg train ready for departure. I then drove down to the next intersection to wait for it to go by. This is where the Red Caboose Motel is located. A collection of old cabeese that have been converted into motel rooms. Looks like an interesting place.
Wish I could have had more time to spend and to have ridden the Strasborg Rail. If you are interested in all my pictures from this excursion, they are HERE.
