Age of Steam Railroad Museum
|
| Address: Fair Park, Dallas, TEXAS, 75210 USA. Tel.: (214) 428-0101 Toll Free: |
| See and explore the trains that helped build our city and the nation. The Age of Steam is preserved in an interpretive display which includes Dallas' oldest depot, once the center of activity in the young little town. The Age of Steam has been preserved in a hands-on interpretive history museum for students of all ages. Over 30 historic pieces of equipment are on display, along with Dallas' oldest surviving depot. Several rare and unique examples of early diesel-electric locomotives are also represented in this superlative exhibit. Instead of finding a collection of artifacts behind glass, you will actually become part of the setting as you climb aboard trains that are almost frozen in. |
