First time here and it was spectacular!! It was expectedly a little busy because of the holidays but it added to the atmosphere, very cool going through with all these other visitors. I've never seen anything like it, the amount of work and detail that goes into the trains and models is just mind boggling, I don't know how many hours go into curating and keeping it going but it has to be a lot because everything was so lovingly taken care of and the volunteers that work here are so nice and helpful. Would recommend to anyone who can go!!

Finally got to experience the WPMRM and we were not disappointed! The entire second floor is a journey from PA to MD with several interactive features, as well as a scavenger hunt and it. Is. Stunning. The amount of work that has obviously gone into everything from the numerous train displays to the gift shop to the snack shop and all the memorabilia is impressive. The staff is friendly and this is one of those places that honestly let's you "forget about life for a while." We'll be back!

We visit every year around the holidays. There's a fascinating display upstairs, set in the 1950s, that begins in Pittsburgh and carries on to Cumberland, Maryland, and we always enjoy finding landmarks we recognize. The level of detail is amazing and there are humorous touches hidden throughout. Our children still love going through and doing the scavenger hunt even though they're teenagers now.

You forget where you are at times when you travel back to the 1950's Western PA. So much detail goes into making historically accurate scenery.

Two levels of the museum offers an interactive display on the first level where children can be the conductor and control model trains through the miniature scenery. The upper level navigates you back in time to big cities and small towns in Western PA when the railroad was at its peak for transporting people and goods all over the country.

Bring the whole family. Visit the gift shop for railroad souvenirs and model train parts and accessories. Snack bar. Railroad books and...
