Description
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad was once one of the most important freight and passenger lines in the country. This museum, located in a converted switching yard west of downtown, was the final destination for dozens of the steam locomotives and diesel engines that traveled along that railroad. Visitors are welcome to climb aboard and inspect the giant machines, many of which are kept in a restored house that also holds a wealth of historical displays and railroad memorabilia. Adults pay USD12, Seniors USD10, Children (2-12 years) USD6 and children under two years of age can come free.
