New Braunfels Historic Railroad and Modelers Society — Attraction in New Braunfels

I loved visiting this museum with my husband and my 4-year-old. They had a room with beautiful model trains and a stool so that my son could stand up and see everything. The man running it that day was kind and knowledgeable. We learned a lot! Behind the museum building there are a couple of train cars and an engine that you can go explore on your own.

I'm new to Central Texas, and have been a Railroad buff for most of my life. While I never expected to get the full story of the Missouri Pacific Railroad from the station at New Braunfels, the "slice of life" details at this local museum help to fill in the blanks of the story of railroading in this part of...
