The Museum is a volunteer-run nonprofit dedicated to the preservation of the history of railroading in the Pittsburgh region and is open only during the holiday season.
Come explore the 4,000 square-foot “A Railroad Journey in Miniature” model train display. Set in the 1950s, the display captures the railroading industry as it made the transition from steam to diesel locomotives. It features model trains traveling between Pittsburgh and Cumberland, MD past numerous well-known landmarks, including the P&LE train station (now Market Square in Pittsburgh), J&L Steel Mill, Cox’s Department Store (McKeesport, PA), Falling Water, Ohiopyle PA, Helmstetter’s Curve and the Cumberland Station (Cumberland, MD).
The Museum has a first floor interactive area for children with train tables, a decorated Christmas tree and a Lionel toy train display.
The Museum is open thru Jan. 11 on Friday evenings, Saturdays and Sundays.
