Train Museum at Fair Park - 05-25-2006, 04:58 PM

Went to the Train Museum located at Gate 3 of Fair Park. They have a lot of cool trains shoved into a very small space. Due to the cramped space I thought it best to concentrate on smaller items or interesting parts of the trains....

I dig the Santa Fe trains as they were the ones I grew up with:
