My favorite part of the tour was the old gentleman, first name was Bob. He showed us all the interesting points about the train and answered all our questions. He made the whole thing come alive...

What a great museum and coection of railroad memorabilia and trains! There are locomotives, baggage cars and cabooses to climb on, go in, and to explore! The staff are very knowledgeable and helpful, and you can certainly learn much from them. A lot of fun for all!

I have been a Wichita resident all my life (a crisp 20 years now) and I'd always seen this museum, ATSF 3768 and the Santa Fe diesel on the Douglas St. Bridge. I'd only been to this museum once in memory. Recently, I went back this last week. What I can say is this little museum is heavily underrated and deserves more attention. Tickets are only 7 dollars for an adult. Right now, the museum needs about 30,000 dollars to pay for a new paint job on the diesel, else likely she'll rust away. Please visit here and say hi to these nice folks. They convinced me, on my first visit after 10 years, to volunteer with restoration projects. Highly recommend visiting.
