At MD&I Trains we love all trains, railroad museums and most railroad themed activities and events. ​
​
For years we have been visiting, railroad museums, riding scenic railroads, going to model train shows and events. Our passion is for the steam era but at the end of the day we simply love trains and railroads in general. Over the years we are finding tourist trains pulled by steam becoming harder to locate but not impossible.
​
We have visited many scenic railroads and museums on our vacations. Typically we will pick an area and day trip to as many as we can that time allows. The lists on the following pages were created based on some of our experiences and to help plan new ones.
​
On the following pages you will find almost 75 railroad themed places to visit with things to do across 25 states broken down by region.
​
Please do take the time to check out these places and take the rides and explore the museums and other activities.
You should also take the time to confirm with each organization what is available before you go as schedules, routes and programs do change. Links to the tourist trains are included. Be advised the links open a window to an external site and we are not responsible for the content on those sites.
