Medina Railroad Museum is a museum dedicated to railroads. Located less than an hour east of Buffalo in the Village of Medina.
"Located in the old New York Central freight depot in Medina, NY, the Medina Railroad Museum is the largest freight depot museum in the country. The building itself was built in 1905, and is one of the largest (301ft. by 34ft.), last surviving wooden freight depots in the United States.
Featuring the largest collection of artifacts and memorabilia known to exist under one roof. Also see the longest HO scale layout and diorama all on one floor, an immense 14ft. by 204ft, currently under construction."
Museum is a boarding location for the FALLS BRANCH RAILROAD AND THE ERIE CANAL EXCURSION TRAIN -
"Relax and enjoy a leisurely 34-mi. round trip (2 hour) ride through the scenic Erie Canal Heritage Corridor aboard comfortable vintage 1947 Budd passenger coaches."
For those with children or grandchildren, the Museum has hosted a Thomas the Train Event each spring. See Thomas FAQ
