Museum of the American Railroad, Railroad museum in Frisco, United States.
The Museum of the American Railroad features over 70 pieces of railway equipment across 15 acres, including locomotives, passenger cars, and freight equipment.
Established in 1963 at Fair Park, the museum gained official recognition in 1986 and relocated to Frisco in 2011 following the Visions 2006 strategic plan.
The museum preserves railroad heritage through guided tours, educational programs, and exhibits that demonstrate the influence of trains on American transportation development.
