Galesburg Railroad Museum

Reviewed By RobertW2h483MD - Park Ridge, United States

There is an engine (#3006) and three cars outside (mail car, Pullman sleeper car, and a caboose). If you read all the carefully-written descriptions it will take about two hours (or more). Most people will take much less time than that. The mail car has the original features - bins for sorting mail for the stations ahead, and an outside hook to pick up mail while passing a station. The Pullman car has sleeper sections and a re-created dining section (which would have been in a dining car). It's worth your time and money even if you are not a dedicated rail-fan.
