Visitors to the Age of Steam Railroad Museum in Fair Park get a great opportunity to go back in time to the days when "riding the rails" was the most popular way of travel. Before jet planes and huge airports, the railroad was king. And the collection of trains at the Age of Steam Museum stand regally as a reminder of those days gone by. Inside the restored depot (moved here from downtown Dallas) are pictures and exhibits about the history and evolution of the railroads in North Texas. |
| Throughout the year the Age of Steam museum offers programs and events such as the "Dinner in a Diner," Family Fun Days," and "Whistle Fair." These unique events help to educate today's generation of kids, most of whom have never seen a train in person. |
