Image
Originally founded in 1938 as a railroad club today it is a non-profit organization whose purpose is to pormote and preserve the history of railroads in Western Pennsylvania. This exhibit is a 4,000 square foot, state of the art HO Scale model railroad running between Pittsburgh and Cumberland, MD. The setting is the early 1950s. Every detail is ther from houses, churches and factories along the route, to the topography of the hills and the flow of the rivers. Nick I think you should check this out next time you are up here! It really felt like taking an train ride through times gone by.

Evansville, Indana EMTRAC Train Museum

Image
April 27, 2007 The EMTRAC i s a train museum and we loved playing there. The model of Evansville was so well done with little trains running. Will sat at a computer setting up his trains a nd then driving them along tracks til he jumped the track. Evansville, Indiana has an impressive county courthouse that is today empty with just a few offices in use. The old courthouse is there for all to peek in the window to see. It is located along the Ohio River with tugs pushing barges. The Aztar Casino is filled with tables and machines.
