After walking around and photographing the Strasburg Railroad from across the highway on a very cold and windy morning, I decided to warm up and visit the Pennsylvania Railroad Museum.
I went inside the front door, paid my fare and went inside the Hall of Railroading to start my tour.

General views from the bridge. I wanted to go outside to see the rest of their collection but the door was locked. I went back to the front and was told the person who mans that door was on his way and I went in search of him.
On the way there, I photographed Lewisburg, Milton and Watsontown Railbus 20. No one was at that door so I walked all the way back up to the lobby where I found the door man. We walked back through the museum and he let me go outside.
