After a 13 year absence the Berkshire Scenic Railway Museum has returned to the former New York New Haven and Hartford line between Lenox and Stockbridge in the Berkshires of Western Massachusetts. Operating over tracks now owned and used by the Housatonic Railroad of Connecticut, riders enjoy a historic narrative as the train travels 2-1/2 hours along the route of the Housatonic Railroad. Equipment includes vintage diesel power and 1920s coaches. A museum housed in a restored 1902 depot contains area railroading exhibits and two model train displays as well as a new Gilded Age museum with photos and artifacts from the turn of the last century.
