Strasburg, PA

Another short drive from the campground finds us at the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania in Strasburg. What a cool place! Inside their humongous building are a wide variety of locomotives from the very first steam carriage (ca. 1825) through the mid-1900s, passenger cars, freight cars, mail cars and cabooses in near perfect condition. They even have an exhibit that looks like an early 20th century passenger depot. You almost fell like you've gone back in time. Outside are even more locomotives (more than 100 of them in all) and various other rail cars. A very impressive collection.











On our way home, we passed through a small town by the name of Paradise, PA. This must really be Paradise since, as this sign shows, there is a very important office here.
