"My friend and I stopped in on our way back from a road trip, I had thought it was just a city owned steam locomotive but frankly that's the tip of the iceberg when it comes to great exhibits they have. a Volunteer was out doing some landscape work and offered to give us a"
"Awesome museum for trains n history. Very friendly guides that give u alot of information and knowledge. U can press switches to watch the trains move. Kids have a step stool and will like the to click the switches to move the trains. It's a total replaca of the very town it's in. I loved learning the history. I highly suggest a visit!!!"
"Quite a few pieces of memorabilia fron train days gone by. The minature trains are a delight, they run in a dioramas depicting Mendota. The station master's office with the telegraph, typewriter and paraphernalia of train life is well depicted. Worth a visit to see the historic pieces."
"The museum was open when we were there but it looked very nice, they share the building with Amtrak. A good place to watch BNSF freight trains as well as the couple Amtrak trains that pass by."
