Sounds interesting. My first thought, though, was that if they were planning to include significant artifacts they would need a building the size of the Pentagon.
I wonder who will select the, “Individuals to be honored.” Also, what the criteria will be. The best known steam locomotive engineer of all time was a chronic rule-bender who was frequently on the carpet for running too fast. If John Luther Jones hadn’t been the subject of a popular, long-lived song he would have been unknown outside of the circle of IC railroaders he worked with.
