Steamtown National Historic Site

Locomotives, a roundhouse and exhibits connect steam technology with the workers and communities that depended on rail transport.

Check the National Park Service’s current program to distinguish museum access from scheduled train rides and demonstrations. This remains an active rail setting, so follow visitor routes and safety guidance around equipment and tracks. Allow time for the historical interpretation as well as the large engines, and confirm operating notices before traveling to see a particular locomotive.
