The Railroad Historical Center — Attraction in Greenwood

Went with wife. During the summer I would definitely arrive early as it can get hot on site and some of the trains can get warm. If you have assesability issues, you will be able to see the exterior of the trains but some areas may be inaccessible on the trains due to narrow doors/passages.

The volunteers were very knowledgeable while guiding us through the trains. There is the main steam engine, an electric day train/tram, an Intercity commuter / sleeping / dining car, a caboose, and a railway presidential train.

The trains/cars were marvelously restored and maintained, the plaques had pertinent information and gave a brief history of the trains, and the volunteers knowledge was inspiring.

I was amazed how luxurious these cars would have been when they were built, and how much they thought about the design and workings of the cars, specifically for the sleeping and kitchen cabin.

The entry building also has history and models of trains as well as some artifacts.

My wife and I took an hour and a half for the tour, however we asked many questions and were getting in detail about the cars. Expect a tour to last 30 minutes if going through at a moderate pace.

We plan on visiting again so we can spend more time enjoying the fascinating decor and the sense of being in another time. What I wouldn't give to travel on the sleeping car. According to our guide the railroad does have fund raisers where dinner's are catered into the dining area. My sister and I look forward to participating. Sounds like great fun for a great cause. This is one of those hidden tourist gems in the area that doesn't get nearly enough publicity. I highly recommend it just for the experience of living in a...

We took our grown sons and 3 grandkids to the museum on July 5th while they were visiting from out of town. The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly, and the train cars were very well preserved. The grandkids had an interactive experience in the cars and our! They were able to blow the engine horn, ring the engine bell, climb into a sleeper car bunk, and operate the RR crossing gate. Inside the reception area, we did some coloring, saw small model trains going around a track, and played with wooden trains on a play table. The admission was totally worth the experience. We will return...
