Rail Station Rendezvous

While we were in Evansville Friday we visited The Evansville Museum Transportation Center. The EMTRAC exhibits dynamically interpret the transportation in Southern Indiana from the latter part of the Nineteenth Century through the mid-Twentieth Century. The indoor exhibits address Evansville’s early river, rail and aviation advancements. When we stepped outside onto the platform we found the Museum’s prized train. On exhibit since 1967, the train provided Trey Davey and Benji with their first opportunity to examine the exterior and interior of three historic railroad cars up close. The fleet consisted of a 1908 0-6-0 steam switch engine, a fully equipped 1926 club car, and a circa 1900 caboose.
