		Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania ^Votes:0 Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania The Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania is located in eastern Pennsylvania in the town of Strasburg. The museum was opened in 1975. The museum has on display a large and significant collection of Pennsylvania-related motive power and rolling stock spanning the years 1825 to the present. Public areas in the Museum include a two story building (with a large "Rolling Stock Hall") and an outdoor area (complete with a turntable). The Rolling Stock Hall houses much of the older (and smaller) display pieces. Surprisingly, until a few years before I visited (in 1993), the outdoor area, which contains all of the large steam locomotives, was closed to the public! A new wing was added to the building around 1995. Now much of the collection is indoors. For more information, Read More Go to Site
