Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania

The Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania contains more than 100 locomotives and railroad cars spread across 18 acres of exhibition space and galleries.

The museum originated from the Pennsylvania Railroad display at the 1939 New York World's Fair, leading to its establishment and public opening in 1975.

The museum preserves rolling stock, artifacts, and archives that document the evolution of railroad transportation and its impact on Pennsylvania's development.

Located at 300 Gap Road, the museum operates Wednesday through Saturday from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM and Sundays from noon to 4:00 PM.

Visitors can examine the Solari board from Philadelphia's 30th Street Station, which displayed train departures until its replacement with digital screens in 2019.
