As you moved through the roundhouse it felt like you were following a cohesive storyline through the early history of the railroad.

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.

I love that the museum is what remains of the old train yard and the number and variety of train cars is remarkable.

We did the train ride and our guide on board was excellent (history/information for the parents).
