A must see for railfans. Incredible amount of rare locomotives. Will only get better with time.
Absolutely incredible experience!...This is the collection that sat, forever, at the Texas Fairgrounds, in a horrible display area, that gave visitors no ability to actually 'see' the pieces...Obviously the City of Frisco has been what the collection has needed all along: these pieces are of immense importance to the history of the American Railroad and the current plans are to house and display these pieces of American railroad history in a building and grounds that do them justice and showcase them accurately. We wanted to visit the museum grounds, but could only make it one day, and on a day that the museum was closed. Our host, Robert Willis, drove from his home, an hour away, to meet us and give us a walking tour, for as long as we wanted; answering EVERY question that he could, and enlisting the aid of others to answer those he could not!!! The staff is also committed to reaching out to the children of the greater community, INCLUDING under privileged and those with special needs, with an educational program already up and running! (As we toured, there were busloads of kids, on a field trip, being guided through the collection of passenger cars, learning about the history and experiences of train travel in America, by very knowledgeable staff, giving these kids a close up and hands on look that they just can't receive in the classroom. We arrived excited about viewing the collection, but left even MORE excited about the plans for the growth and future of this very important piece of American history!-Bruce Arbo & Denise Hutton
Great museum at a great price! We took kids ranging in age from 5 - 12 and they all enjoyed it. Will definitely be back.
Tour guides do a great job and are very personable. Great experience with photo opps for families. This tour and museum will continue to get better as they get more funding. Think it's great that they actually try to restore and keep some engines running. Glad this collection moved away from Fair Park so it has room to grow.
Was a great little historic town. Only one locomotive and one carriage though. I'd hardly call it a rail museum.
