In our quest to see trains, several people referred us to the Museum of Transportation in St. Louis. Since it was on our way home from the lake, we decided to make a stop. It was raining hard when we arrived. We thought this might ruin our visit, but soon the skies cleared, and we discovered an awesome train museum. Founded in 1944, this venue houses one of the largest and best collections of transportation vehicles in the world. Certainly, with more than 70 locomotives, the museum boasts one of the most complete collections of American rail power anywhere, including an 1858 wood-burning locomotive, the world's largest steam locomotive, and a 1920s Pullman sleeping car. We took a ride on a real trolley car, explored the cab of a locomotive and photographed five more cabooses. It was too much for one day and we’ll have to visit again soon.
