Reviews
"Small but nice, a quick stop as part of a longer day (30 mins"
"I got a personal tour on this museum! I learned about the purpose of switch stations and how they communicate to the rail. The tour guide was pretty cool!"
"Its 3 buildings, freight shed, signal tower and a covered waiting area with a complete bay window chessie system caboose. Its only open on fri sat sun. Couldn't give u ticket prices. Its right next to the high-speed northeast corridor. Only 9 miles fm BWPRKWY off 197."
"This is a great little community and volunteer run rail museum which is spread out between 2 buildings (station and tower) and a single beautifully restored caboose. You can come and see it all with the help of a guide in 30 min or less so a nice quick diversion even if you are just passing through."
