This museum has a beautiful display inside and out. Definitely worth the time to go there and see some if the finest railroad equipment anywhere. They've done a wonderful job and should be proud of all the work they put into their establishment.
This museum has such a nice collection both inside and out. I need to come back without my camera so I can truly enjoy it. I'm in the same boat with deciding if I'm showing too much or not enough and I still do the umms and uhhs. Guess it makes us human haha. Thanks for the compliment again on the Laurel Run video, I'm really proud of that one.
Very detailed with lots of history. Spokane, was. Has a rich history. There were 5 different carriers in Spokane. Now down to 2 major carriers an Amtrak. Tom quest
My husband Lindsay loves trains he would really enjoy this fun place maybe we will come visit this museum real soon spend the whole weekend up there that would be so fun
That sure is a cool museum, so much to see and take in! I can imagine you would need a couple days to see it all. Very interesting, so much awesome history and lots to learn! Looking forward to seeing your new train layout! Great video Matt, thank you!
The Railroad Museum pf Pennsylvania has 28 steam locomotives, which I believe is the largest steam collection in the world, but definitely the US. I use to be a volunteer there, before I moved to Florida. At 19:34 that is an E7 passenger diesel (EP20 in PRR parlance), which pulled the Broadway Limited to and from Chicago.

Thank you very much , As there are some of your followers that can't get around as much . I appreciate what you do for the hobby . Stay safe and peace to you and your family .
That blue thermos bottle Heisler was originally used at Hammermill Paper Company within the mill on Lake Erie shoreline but it was discovered the rail curves were too sharp and it was decided to sell to Pennsylvania Power.

Hey great video! Dont beat yourself up trying to be perfect. It was an enjoyable watch. Looked like a really fun place. Heres a little modeling hint: sometimes u can mix scales! Put HO stuff in the foreground and N scale farther back to help with the illusion of distance. Forced perspective its called. If u ever decide to make that trip west to see the UP big boy stop by the chicago area (thats where I've lived my entire life) and check out the Illinois Railway Museum in Union. Make sure its nice weather though. Alot of outside activities. Anyway great post again! Good luck on ur layout (ive got one myself😁) and happy railfanning!🚂🚋🚅🚝
Great video Matt!! This place is on my list to come back to visit. I did briefly walk around the outside when I was at Strasburg last August with Nick and RJ. But didn't have enough time to film both.
A really nice museum and an interesting video. Fun facts about the EMD F-unit. This line of diesel-electric locomotives got an offshoot here in Europe in the form of, for example, the Norwegian Di 3 locomotive with 1750 HP which was based on the EMD F7. Two of the Di 3 locomotives are still used on the Ofotbanen (Ofoten Line), which is used for ore transport and runs between Narvik in Norway and Kiruna in Sweden. The track is located at 68 degrees north and thus approximately at the same latitude as Prudhoe Bay in the far north of Alaska.
@@wezza60 Thanks. I became aware of this when I read the comments after adding the post. I thought that it is understandable that one can be wrong (including me) in that the design difference is not great. On the other hand, it is important to know this in that, as far as I understand, the locomotive in question is the only one remaining of the EMD E7.
Wonderful video. I have been to the museum years ago. There were no interactive displays, no signage, and you were able to climb onto the equipment. And yes we (my mom & dad, and spouse) went to the Strasburg Railroad. My dad was so cheap he would not pay the extra $0.25 to ride in the open car. I guess I will need to return to the museum.
It's a shame that the guard rails had to be put infront and behind the equipment. It really ruins the photos. Glad I photographed everything when I did.
If you go outside in the lot, 3750 is the funeral train for Harding, it’s left rotting away but if you look it up it’s pretty nice to see with it’s hearse style attire, and yes lol I have the o scale version of it with the hearse robes and the coaches with the casket in the back lol
Very nice. I've been to the Strasburg Railroad and the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania many times (my grandmother lived out in Lancaster County), and credit them (as well as a certain blue tank engine) with instilling a deep passion for trains and railroads within me. Additionally, I believe one can get combo tickets for both the railroad and the museum so you can ride the train, then go across the street and look at more trains.
Oh wow. That's the observation car from the Crusader at the beginning of the video. I never saw it in person. The train had been downgraded to Budd Cars by then. So glad to see it preserved and on display.
The next time you back back definitely go out to the RR Museum outdoor rail yard. Out in the rail yard they currently have the Norfolk and Western 611 Locomotive on loan for display before it heads back for runs, hopefully over at the Strasburg RR like they did last season. It's an impressive beast to get up close and personal with. It's also worth mentioning that the Railroad Museum of PA does allow tripod usage for still photographers which is great since some areas of the museum, particularly the western end, are super dark.
New to your videos. Appreciate the Strasburg museum. Just information on model track scales, they go Z, N, HO, S (not On30 which runs on HO track), then O, and G.
Cool! and welcome! Thanks for the correction! N scale happens to be my favorite. Just love how much you can do with not a lot of space. I do have a special place in my heart for HO.
The State Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania is not the Pennsylvania Railroad Museum! They show Reading, Conrail and many other lines! They also have a fine research library! There is also a Logging Museum which features trains. TM former Friends of Museum Member
Please consider, when you stop to show something interesting hold the camera still long enough for the viewer to process what they are looking at. Also perhaps you could spend less time on your face and more of what you are seeing. Thanks
Thanks for the tips! That will be part of the plan is to keep it cool up there. I don't have any HVAC ductwork running up there but I can get a wall mounted AC unit. It will eventually be insulated.
This museum has a beautiful display inside and out. Definitely worth the time to go there and see some if the finest railroad equipment anywhere. They've done a wonderful job and should be proud of all the work they put into their establishment.
I'm definitely heading back there to check out the choo choo barn, ride the train etc. It's an awesome place.

Sure did enjoy this area and museum on a bike trip in 83.
There's tons to do in this area no doubt. Beautiful part of central PA.

I’ll be going here on my birthday and the stars rug railroad and the VMT

That's awesome! I could see myself working for something train/railroad related in the future. I just have to get out of healthcare first lol.

I've heard about that mill. Isn't it all but gone with the exception of "the three sisters" at least I think that's what it's called.
Soy Mike me gus los favorite trains museum 🥰🥰🥰😊😊😊
19:30 That's actually an E unit and the only surviving E7.
I've been to the museum, great place!
I stand corrected. It's a beauty to see in person!
I'm liking the 1223. That's my birthday. 😊
That museum is awesome. I really enjoy when we visit. Been twice and find different things on each visit
I'll definitely be back later this year

Roolish rools
Railroad museum of Pennsylvania ;) (otherwise people would think it's dedicated to the PRR)
Sorry I missed the premiere!! Thanks for the visit to the museum!! Super video!! 👍♥️
No worries Julie! Thanks for watching.

Awesome thank you so much for the info. I am my own worst critic lol.
Great video Matt!! This place is on my list to come back to visit. I did briefly walk around the outside when I was at Strasburg last August with Nick and RJ. But didn't have enough time to film both.
I'd love to have everyone meet up in Strasburg for a weekend. Kind of like what Jay did out in Altoona a couple years ago.
cool museum ...i think my husband and i would really enjoy going there ....
It's an awesome place fore sure!

You're aware of things you need to improve your videos, that's key to success.
Very true!
Very cool video and museum.
Thanks Adam
Great museum. Headed out again to Lancaster and Gettysburg in september
Two of my favorite places! I'll be heading to Gettysburg in the spring for sure.
Dang I missed the premier!
I'll be doing them again in the future.
Wonderful video. I have been to the museum years ago. There were no interactive displays, no signage, and you were able to climb onto the equipment.

lol, thank you much! I never get tired of going there. I'll be checking out the Choo-Choo barn as well as taking a train ride here in the spring.
It's a shame that the guard rails had to be put infront and behind the equipment. It really ruins the photos. Glad I photographed everything when I did.
😍😍😍😍🤩🤩🤩

I'm going to do a separate trip for the outside part.
That was a PRR E unit. E units are 6 axel units, F units have 4 axels. Beautiful locomotive.
Very nice. I've been to the Strasburg Railroad and the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania many times (my grandmother lived out in Lancaster County), and credit them (as well as a certain blue tank engine) with instilling a deep passion for trains and railroads within me. Additionally, I believe one can get combo tickets for both the railroad and the museum so you can ride the train, then go across the street and look at more trains.
That's the plan for when I return in the spring. I need to keep an eye out for which steam locomotives are goign to be there. I've already seen 611.
Oh wow. That's the observation car from the Crusader at the beginning of the video. I never saw it in person. The train had been downgraded to Budd Cars by then. So glad to see it preserved and on display.
I agree, I love when old train cars and locomotives get preserved. Keeps our history alive.
The first GG-1 #4800 (Old Rivets) is parked outside the museum.
The next time you back back definitely go out to the RR Museum outdoor rail yard. Out in the rail yard they currently have the Norfolk and Western 611 Locomotive on loan for display before it heads back for runs, hopefully over at the Strasburg RR like they did last season.

I definitely will. I flew my drone there two summers ago but will get up close and personal soon.

Soy Mike quisiera cómprame un tren de verdad que este grande para que yo lo pueda manejar bien y haber como funcionan los motores de train

That VIRGINIA & TRUCKEE locomotive is beautiful........
At 19:10 No, that’s a Ore car. 🙂

Thank you for the input. It's still tough sometimes to remember that lol.
I hope your attic has climate control, heat is not good for model trains, just a FYI, great video though sir, I love all things Railroad related!😇
Thanks for the tips! That will be part of the plan is to keep it cool up there. I don't have any HVAC ductwork running up there but I can get a wall mounted AC unit. It will eventually be insulated.
Fabulous tour. More of the equipment, less of you.
Thank you and I get that. Sometimes I feel like I need to talk to the camera lol.
Soy Mike me gustaría tener ese tren de color azul con negro
Hola Mike, me encantaría tener alguno de esos trenes jajaja
I don't like the thing you have on the camera it to dark.
Yeah it can be at times. I'm still learning how to use it properly.
