Viewing Album:  Interior Displays - Conneaut Railroad Museum
 
By:Gary Everhart
Dates:7/15/2012 - 7/15/2012
Album Info:This album doesn't do justice to the myriad of displays inside the Conneaut Railroad Museum housed in the former New York Central station. By the time we got to the museum (serendipitous at that), we had barely half an hour before they closed and with my running outside to grab some CSX action on the tracks nearby, there wasn't enough time to fully cover the museum. I WILL return - it's on tthe "MUST RETURN" list!!!
