Museum of Transportation opening new visitors center
McKinley was elected in 1896. He was inaugurated in 1897 and was shot in 1901.
How far is this museum from Metrolink? Is there a bus transfer that can be made from Metrolink which can get one there?
Looks like we’ll make another trip to the museum this spring.
I was there a few years ago, and was disappointed in the condition of some of the locomotives there. The Centennial, for instance, was in such poor condition that I refused to even take a picture. The Big Boy was not much better. I hope next time I visit (if I do) I hope things will look better.
There is a bus transfer from the MetroLink on weekends There is the Manchester line two miles north of Museum.
The Metrolink map shows the end of the line at Shrewsbury-Lansdowne to be nowhere close to the museum. From this point, one could catch bus 46 or 210 to the I-44 frontage, where one would change to bus 58X. That bus, however, does not go by the museum’s front door, but rather (guessing at the scale of the map) perhaps 3/4 of a mile south. An automobile would likely be the best option.
