A great place to relive the yesteryears of rail travel
The museum is chocked with railroad history, and like a trip back in time to the days of early rail travel. Free Virtual UP Happy Hours that the museum has been hosting on Saturday evening have been amazing with interesting and unusual railroad topics, trivia, and a wonderful host that finds all sorts of hidden photos and facts from their archives. Whether virtually or in person, a great place to relive the yesteryears.

A Pleasant Surprise
A visit to this museum took us back in time. Railroads were once the way to get from East to West in the United States. We loved the model trains on the 2nd floor. The museum was one of the highlights of our trip to Omaha.
