Museum pass : Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania

Summary: What’s in a name? Actually, quite a bit. We are the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania, not the “Pennsylvania Railroad Museum” or some other variation of the name. We are, in no way, a museum exclusively devoted to the Pennsylvania Railroad. We are a museum devoted to telling the rich stories of railroading in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, including all its railroads, its support industries and its workers and travelers – past and present. "The Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania was created by an act of the state legislature (1963), with a site selected in Strasburg, Lancaster County (1965). Very gradually, the Museum began acquiring its first locomotives and railroad cars, with the Pennsylvania Railroad’s Historic Collection arriving in Strasburg from Northumberland, PA (1969). The first phase of Museum construction yielded the installation of a 100-foot ex-Reading Company turntable and yard tracks (1970-1971), while the second phase saw the completion of the Museum building (1972-1974). In April 1975, the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania opened to the public, the first structure in North America built specifically as a railroad museum".--(from the website)
