…if you’re traveling north or south on Route 95 and passing Richmond Va on a Saturday or Sunday.

It’s the Richmond Railroad Museum! A beautifully restored 1915 Southern Railway Station, easy to find and with plenty of parking.

The’ve got some great artefacts on display, a fun gift shop, and an impressive HO layout with various scenes of Richmond.

The website tells the story better than I can.

Here’s the 'site of the sponsoring organization.

I was there last week and thoroughly enjoyed myself. You will too!

Thanks for the suggestion, Wayne. Those RF&P betterment coaches and the C&O tender caught my attention!

Just so there’s no mistake, the RF&P coaches, the C&O tender, and the other rolling stock pictured in the “Photos” section of the ODC website are NOT at the Museum site, they’re in a storage yard owned by the Old Dominion Chapter of the NRHS in Chesterfield County, a number of miles away.

The yard is only opened to the public on certain occasions.
