Viewing Album:  Medina Railway Museum July 11, 2017
 
By:Neil Barratt
Dates:7/11/2017 - 7/11/2017
Album Info:Great Museum with an enormous and fantastically detailed model layout that seems to go on for miles. Totally worth the drive to Medina in northwest New York state. And did I mention the two delicious New York Central E8s on display in the yard? I've only included a few photos so as not to spoil it for anyone who wants to journey there and see for themselves. Sadly, the creator and long-time owner passed away recently. He had built the museum from a model railroad up to the current state. Interwoven with the trains is a collection of historic fire-fighting equipment and memorabilia. This museum is a real gem, and run by very nice people.

Description:  On display. Not sure where - it was enroute to Medina. That's my wife smiling on the front porch. Or is it the back porch?

Description:  I love model trains...but I love real locomotives even more. I didn't know what to expect when I got to the museum, but these two beauty E8s certainly put a huge smile on my face - and got my heart pounding.
