Museum of Transportation

Choo Choo Cake

We were greeted at the Museum of Transportation by the cake. The cake scene showed the rolling meadows and majestic mountains as you took a train ride across the country.

As we entered the museum we were told the Friends of the Trolley was giving free rides. Colin and Andrew checked out some of the train cars as we waited for the trolley.


The conductor told us a little history about the trolley. It belongs to the Friends and the museum lets them ride the tracks. It was made by the St. Louis Car Company 100 years ago. The trolley was used to transport the Water Works employees to the destination downtown.

We got off at the upper train shed where we saw dining cars and sleepers.
