Description

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
Rolling stock

Though the most prominent pieces of the museum's collection are the two Norfolk & Western engines, there are more than fifty pieces of rolling stock in the collection. Some exhibits may be closed to the public as restoration is in progress on some pieces. While the most of the railyard is ADA-accessible to view the rolling stock, entry into the piece are not as they were built long before the standards of 1990. Some of the museums collection needs heavy restoration and is stored offsite on a track allowed by Norfolk Southern.
