"This place is amazing. The museum is free and you get to check out a cool piece of American history. Great place for everyone of all ages. And the best part is how you can view passing trains coming along. Do bring water and a hat to combat the heat. Great stop if you are on a road trip."

"The museum was closed when we got there, so we wandered around the outdoor displays. Then watched a number of trains motor through."
