About National Railroad Museum

Founded in 1956 and recognized by a joint resolution of Congress, the National Railroad Museum holds more than 70 pieces of rolling stock and over 100,000 artifacts. You can see Union Pacific Big Boy No. 4017, a General Motors Aerotrain, and the train used by General Dwight D. Eisenhower's staff in Europe during World War II. Seasonal train rides circle the grounds, and an 80-foot observation tower looks out over the Fox River.
