The museum is quite impressive with lots of hands-on displays. The history is interesting as well.

Very cool museum to enjoy on the cheap. Looks at the history of railroads in the Omaha area. Has a few interactive exhibits and a model train. Cool information and layout in an awesome historic building. Definitely recommend a visit.

From a 42 year previous emplyee, I enjoyed seeing so much history, and the abundant displays. Once a railroader, always a railroader!

There is a simulator upstairs that takes you through all of the steps, with several screens that surrounds and you can sit on the seat and see what the inside would be like. It is my son's favorite part.oh, and usually the museum is only open Thursday thru Saturday from 10 am to 4pm unless of special events
