    The 2nd biggest rail museum in the world. Clearly one of the world's best.

    If you do not mind getting a bit Dirty, the Steam Shop offers an interesting view of the Smokebox, for those who feel the need to get a closer look at a Locomotive.
    The place offers an education in Railroad work experiences from Track Laying to Signal Repairs.
    Membership allows you to learn as you develop a few blisters.

    I’ve been here before multiple times, and I have had multiple fun experiences by myself and with my friend! But the only issue with the museum is that they don’t run demonstration freights or diesel locomotives that often, they usually run the same equipment, this is supposed to show people history, yet you aren’t running each motive power somewhat, I mean steam makes sense, but diesel locomotives still run today, even a few of the types at the IRM still run today! But besides that, I recommend visiting.

      I guess the preservation factor is more important to them

    GOD..! That poor Woman who did this interview couldn't' have been more clearly relying on her professional skills, rather than her interest Isn't it funny how one can "see" through others? Nice try though.
