While We Are There

  • Our tour will be “guided” during our visit with appropriate stops for photographing. Wandering is not part of the policy of the Museum.

  • Tours are outdoors over uneven surfaces with no cover from the sun. There are no paved sidewalks at this point in time.

  • When close to the trains, the surface is ballast (a loose granite) which is used to keep the train rails in place.

  • Steps will be provided for the two train cars we will be allowed to go inside to photograph.

  • Please dress for the terrain, heat, and bring plenty of fluids. (There are no restrooms or water fountains available at the site at this time.)

  • Some of the trains have been restored, some have not.

Suggested Equipment

Tripod/monopod; a selection of lens, comfortable walking shoes, bottled water, sun protection.
