Dedicated to the railroads which brought prosperity to Dallas, the Age Of Steam Railroad Museum name is something of a misnomer. The museum deals equally with both steam and diesel/electric exhibits and retells the story of Dallas and its railroad history. The museum website is at www.dallasrailwaymuseum.com , where further information can be found. Andy Read visited the museum on the 13th March 2005 and below are some photographs taken during his visit.
