Berkshire Scenic Railway Museum, Railway museum and heritage railway in Lenox, Massachusetts, United States
The Berkshire Scenic Railway Museum features vintage passenger cars from the 1920s and diesel locomotives from the 1940s and 1950s for railway excursions.
Founded in 1984, the museum operated passenger excursions from Lee to Great Barrington over Housatonic Railroad tracks until track conditions required service suspension.
The museum preserves railroad artifacts and equipment while offering educational programs about the impact of railways on regional development in Massachusetts.
The museum operates train rides on weekends and holidays from Memorial Day through October, with excursions lasting approximately 90 minutes over 20 miles.
In 2016, the museum expanded to North Adams after receiving a state grant of $200,000, leading to the conversion of a former car wash into a railroad station.
