I have a 5 year old boy who is OBSESSED with trains and we are interested if it’s still open to the public. Thank you!

This as the new Tier IV federal emission regulations have put the brakes on new locomotive production, it could not have come at a worse timing for PA or the northeast railroads.

I will no longer be able to see shiny new locomotives on my way home from Chicago :(
