Get onboard the "Rail Yard Local" and be transported back in time to the early to mid-20th century, the golden age of railroading. This train ride will bring you past the Museum's ever-growing collection of historic rolling stock, including many rare diesel engines and one-of-a-kind pieces like the Boston and Maine Railroad's steam locomotive. The Museum also features the only operating turntable in Connecticut. From Memorial Day through Labor Day, the Museum is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturdays, and from noon to 5 p.m. on Sundays; after Labor Day, the Museum closes at 4 p.m. The Rail Yard Local runs every hour, with the last train leaving the Museum at 3:45 p.m. (2:45 p.m. after Labor Day). (The ride takes approximately 25 minutes, and operates on a first-come, first-served basis.) Metro-North customers can purchase a discount ticket for the Rail Yard Local at the museum for $2.
