RR Museums Listing
Posted by Anonymous on Tuesday, January 27, 2004 11:41 AM
Where would I find a good listing of RR Museums in the US and Canada? [?]
My wife and I will be retiring soon and hitting the road in our RV. We plan to roam around North America for the next few years. RR watching and photography and museums are high on our list of things to do.[:D][:D][:D]

Thanks,

Check out www.railserve.com and page down to the directory. Everything you need should be there. Another good site is www.railroaddata.com.

Check out the Tourist Trains 2004, which will be published by Kalmbach within a week or so. Your local railroad museum should carry it.

Also, in TRAINS magazines May issue there will be a pull-out section called Trains Guide to Recreational Railroading. The May issue will be published on 3/27/04.

Both these publications list both U.S. and Canadian tourist railways and museums.

TRAINS.COM also offers a list of tourist railways and museums:

Hope this helps.
