Welcome

We have various exhibits on the ground floor of the 1914 La Grange train station. This includes one of two Invicta steam engines in the world, Pullman catalogs, and a 100-year old wooden train model. 

We have 4 model railroad layouts. An O-scale interurban layout in the ground floor and 3 HO-scale layouts in our basement. One of our basement layouts is a DCC layout equipped with multiple motherboards capable of recognizing 99 different engines. Additionally, the DCC layout has 2 levels with a spiral leading the model trains up and down. 

We have a 1929 American Car & Foundry dining car (available for rent), a caboose, Ernie the shunter, and the Flying Duchess, one of the few British locomotives located in the U.S. Our dining car is available for visitation inside when it is not reserved for rentals. 

We are proud to have completed our education park on June 9, 2022! We have five map stands that detail the history of La Grange, its railroad line, and our museum. As it located outside adjacent to our parking lot, feel free to learn railroad history at any time of day.
