Definitely call ahead then, to the Lakeshore Museum...but don't miss it!  It is a neat little facility with a great set of stories.  Plus next to the CSX main as well as the NS nee NKP line and so close to Erie!

RIDEWITHMEHENRY is the name for our almost monthly day of riding trains and transit in either the NYCity or Philadelphia areas including all commuter lines, Amtrak, subways, light rail and trolleys, bus and ferries when warranted. No fees, just let us know you want to join the ride and pay your fares. Ask to be on our email list or find us on FB as RIDEWITHMEHENRY (all caps) to get descriptions of each outing.

Likely if you vistit the Lake Shore Museum some one is there.  You might just get them to let you in.  They can be alittle suspicious of you at first untill they realize you are a legitamate railfan.  I have walked the grounds before many times with no problems.  And watching the trains from the Station platform is no problem.  My wife and I get large Calzones from a local Italian resturant and watch the trains.  CSX is generally pretty freindly to the visitors.

Lakeshore Railroad Museum

The Lakshore Railroad Museum in Northeast PA is closed on Weekdays and only open on weekends. Can someone tell me why it's only open on weekends, not on weekdays? Sorry I got rid of the Conneaut on this post. I just now want to focus on the Lakeshore Railroad Museum.
