Amtrak Exhibit Train

Amtrak Exhibit Train
Last weekend I made my way to Essex, Connecticut, the home of the Essex Steam Train and Riverboat. I made the trip for two reasons: to take a ride on the train and to see Amtrak’s Exhibit Train; a rolling, 510-foot museum of Amtrak’s history. This rolling museum includes two Amtrak locomotives, 3 display coaches, sleeper car and a café car converted to an exhibit store. The coaches date back to the early to mid-1950s; they display Amtrak’s timeline in history and their memorabilia. The 2014 tour is wrapping up, so before it’s gone, check out Amtrak’s Exhibit Train website for more dates.

Must see!
