Whippany Railway Museum, Railway museum in Whippany, United States

Whippany Railway Museum is a railway museum in New Jersey that displays locomotives, passenger cars, and freight cars from different periods of railroad history. The vehicles are arranged across the site to show how train design and engineering changed over time.

The museum was founded in 1985 and traces its roots to an earlier railroad museum that began operating in a freight station in 1965. The collection preserves the story of railroads in New Jersey.

Educational programs at the museum teach students and visitors about the scientific principles and technological advancements in railroad engineering.

The site is easy to walk around and you can explore the vehicles at your own pace. A visit works well for families with children and does not require any special knowledge.

A restored train depot building from 1902 stands on the grounds and contains exhibits about the region's railroad past. This building offers a rare glimpse into daily life at an actual train station from that era.
