Transportation Hall also features EMTRAC's anchor exhibit, Charlotte's Evansville. This intricate model railroad interprets the City of Evansville in the late 1940s. Recalling an era when steam locomotives were giving way to diesel power, this diorama incorporates model trains motoring through a model city composed of Evansville’s most significant structures of that era. A visitor activated voice narration provides an overview of the exhibition and the history of the period. The entire exhibit is built inside a full sized 1920’s railroad car connected to the EMTRAC facility. Benji and Trey Davey were fascinated by the exhibit and pushed the narration button repeatedly to watch the trains circle the town until we made them leave.
