Well Worth a Visit
We enjoyed touring and reading the history of the Northwest Railway. A lot of old trains and service cars that helped keep the transportation alive for 150 years. The staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. A lot of neat stuff in the gift shop. Stop by and support the history of the rails!!

Charming
We visited on a rainy day just before Christmas. The Santa train was no longer running and everywhere was quiet, so we could just get a flavour, a small glimpse, of what is normally on offer. The lady in the shop was warm and welcoming - lots of children's train themed books and toys and more serious books for adult train buffs too, plus cards, badges, Christmas tree decorations, tee shirts etc, and we wandered around the old station building - including the hands on display of Brio train sets (couldn't resist a nostalgic play, as our son collected this when small!) - and then out into the yard to look at the old trains parked up. It was all a bit antique and rusting, but it had its own particular charm and I am sure for young Thomas the Tank fans (or the American equivalents) and their equally train mad parents, an hour or two could be happily wiled away.
