Unreliable! I checked the website in advance for open hours, before driving my kids out to the Railroad. Unfortunately, it was closed due to a special event (which was not mentioned anywhere on the website). The parking booth charged me $6 to visit without telling me the Railroad was closed. I even tried calling the Railroad, but just got a nearly-unintelligible message that didn't say anything about the closure (as far as I could tell). There were other people there who were also surprised and disappointed it was closed.
I know the place is a non-profit mostly run by volunteers, but that doesn't count for much with a disappointed 3 year old.

Later kids went on the train. It's a small train and we were walking around while kids were on the train. There's a rest room as well. Not to expect it to be too clean as it's like any public park restroom. It was a hot day but we had fun with loud music, lots of food, and...
