Usually our posts are happy, and it's honestly disappointing that we even have to make such a post.

Over the last couple of weeks, we have had the now daily chore of cleaning up after some late night visitors here at the museum. It started with just food and trash and has sadly now increased to actual urine and other fluids that we're having to clean up...

We leave our back patio open to everyone. Whether you're coming to do your senior portraits, or just want to watch the trains in peace we've left it open. But after these last few weeks, it is apparent that some have no respect and are determined to ruin it for everyone.

We're getting cameras installed and better outdoor lighting as we type, as well as looking at option to remove the benches that everyone enjoys to sit in.

It is unfortunate that it has come to this, but its not healthy for our staff and volunteers to have to clean up some random persons fluids when there is literally a porta-potty under the bridge and restrooms at Union Station.

We are pleased to announce our second Corporate Sponsor for this years Railfest event.

Our friends at Norfolk Southern chose to sponsor us for the third year in a row, and we are forever grateful for their continued support.
