RecommendedGreat place to visit for young and old alike.
Very awesome! I would definitely recommend! The staff is so knowledgeable and informative! I learned so much! Just watching the cars get humped and watching the trains get connected is fascinating
Beautiful, a "must stop" for all rail fans!
Het is best indrukwekkend, zelfs voor niet treinliefhebbers

I am sorry you were disappointed in not getting train ride tickets. I know it is excited to be part of that. As I mentioned on the phone, I assure you tickets really did go that fast. The demand is so high for the tickets we have. There are only so many seats and we are allotted a portion of those. We do the best we can by using a third party ticket vendor to distribute them. By 8:02am, they were all gone. Please remember stand by option is always available too.
missed the Railroad Days by week but everything was great. Had a wonderful view of the yard and one of the hump areas. was lucky enough to be here the third Saturday of the month which they stayed open till 9 at night so you could see the whole yard lit up.
