My girlfriend and I stopped here on a whim while passing by on a road trip. We were blessed with a private tour and regaled with tales by the main museum man, himself. The collection of memorabilia on display is as impressive as the stories behind their acquisition. I will be stopping again when I have the opportunity, and recommend that anyone else does the same.

We got in for free and the people working there were nice. They also sell starter model train sets that are cheap and reliable. Lots to see and you could stay there for hours and still have things to look at and learn about. There is also a HUGE model train layout that is very detailed. In all it is a nice little cozy place to go and learn about the history of Linden depot.

What a delightful tour! Such enthusiasm and knowledge our host displayed, you learn so much history. Check out the "Untouchables" station stairsteps, and the "Carnival" train room.

We had an awesome time with Gary and George. They were super friendly and full of jokes. The information they shared was given in a fun way. Their train collection is massive and so fun to look at. We are from New York and this place is cool to visit since we don’t have anything like it near us. Would recommend this to anyone even if you aren’t a train enthusiast.

Great museum if your at all interested in the history of trains at all. The museum has artifacts from all parts of railroad history including a original track foundation from one of the first train tracks in the world near Baltimore, there is also a replica train that the owner had fabricated and some other train cars, like one that ran on the Monon. Also the Curator is a really cool dude that really cares about the history and is very nice.

Such a nice small museum of railroads!You probably don't expect to find a lot information or inspiration in a small countryside museum, but this one provides exactly that!The curators are so down to earth and accessible! And they are(were) railroaders themselves, so you get first-hand stories and experiences.The kids got hooked on the subject, and are now building a model track at home.
