B & O Train Museum, Baltimore
We have had such a great run of trains recently!! This was the Baltimore and Ohio railroad museum, billing itself as the birthplace of American Commercial railroad. We went with a friend who has recently got membership and gets free entry :)
Some of the trains they have are Big... one steam train had wheels the same height as me. They even had some of the early trains that were shaped like stage coaches.
The photo shows the diesel that gave us a short ride along a very short bit of track that was on the same line as the first commercial track to be built (can anyone else see Chuggington?!). The special exhibition right now is about the civil war and the rail roads, but to be honest, I didn't get to really look at a lot of the exhibits, as the kids were moving too fast. We drove home extremely exhausted and very happy.
