Railroad and Transportation Museum of El Paso, Railroad museum in El Paso, United States

The Railroad and Transportation Museum showcases extensive collections of railway artifacts, historic photographs, and documents that detail El Paso's transportation evolution.

The museum preserves the 1857 El Paso and Southwestern Railroad's Locomotive Number 1, which stands as the oldest steam engine in the western United States.

Through educational programs and exhibits, the museum demonstrates how the railroad system influenced the growth and development of El Paso's communities.
