Strolling through the historic East Strasburg Station and the neighboring town of Strasburg, exploring the engines and rail cars up-close and riding beautifully restored trains are so much fun that you'll almost forget that you're immersed in a richly educational experience — learning about steam railroading, agriculture, Amish culture and PA Dutch heritage (http://www.strasburgrailroad.com/our-amish-neighbors.php). Enjoy all we have to offer. The larger-than-life coal-burning steam train is just the beginning. Ride the Cagney Steam Train (http://www.strasburgrailroad.com/fun-extras.php), a miniature version; operate a hand-powered Pump Car (http://www.strasburgrailroad.com/fun-extras.php) or watch the little ones steer the pint-sized Cranky Car (http://www.strasburgrailroad.com/fun-extras.php). Browse the Thomas™ Toy Store. Discover an amazing railroad bookstore and railfan shop filled with apparel and merchandise. Visit Our Shops. (http://www.strasburgrailroad.com/shopping-at-the-railroad.php) You can enjoy food, drinks and entertainment while riding aboard Strasburg Rail Road, or grab a bite at our Trackside Café. Across the road is the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania (http://www.rrmuseumpa.org/), where you can explore a world-class collection of more than 100 locomotives and rail cars on display, including the priceless Pennsylvania Railroad Historical Collection. And nearby is the National Toy Train Museum (http://www.nttmuseum.org/) - another world-class collection. Seasonal excursion trains include Day Out With Thomas, Easter Bunny Train, and Santa Trains.
