I was in OKC and drove up to this museum. Boy was I surprised!. It has over 1 million RR items in their collection including supposedly the world's largest collection of RR china. I received a person guides tour from Watermelon Campbell, the founder and director. I wish I had more time to stop there. Outside are several historic pieces of equipment including a SL-SF steam engine .

I've been to a lot of railroad museums over the world and this one has one of the most extensive collections of artifacts iI have seen. The rolling stock on the rails outside has been expertly restored and maintained. There is something for everyone in the family to enjoy -- lovely dining room china from nearly every rail line in the US, depot and yard signs, signals, model railways, telegraph equipment, yard clocks, lanterns, and even uniform buttons and badges. I spent an hour just looking through the picture displays dating from the late 1800s. I was impressed by the organization of thousands of items in three buildings. Explore the cabooses, dining car, freight cars, and steam engine. The video and book library in the back building is immense. It's well worth driving from I-35, I-40, Tulsa, Wichita, or Oklahoma CIty to see this fascinating museum. A donation of $3 is appreciated. I dug out more because I found that everyone who takes care of the museum is a volunteer.

The kids really enjoyed looking at the model railroad displays. The static Frisco 1519 steam engine outside was a big hit as well. We were able to get up in the cab and the kids rang the bell. Although they weren't doing this at the time of our visit they have a caboose train ride 2 times a year (pulled by Farmrail diesel engines), their assortment of Cabooses was pretty neat.

This museum is dedicated to the bygone days when Enid was a transportation hub. The exhibits are great.

If you love Railroad stuff you will love this museum. Amazing collection of Railroad Memorbilia and one of the largest collections of Railroad China in the U.S..

My grandfather donated a few things from his years in the railroad to this place and I love going there

This museum is a Railroader's Dream. There is a huge selection of railroad memorabilia with great provenance, a model train layout in HO and N gauges, with working models for the kids, wonderful railroad cars with an amazing selection of cabooses. The Museum also offers all caboose excursion train trips as fundraisers for the organization. These excursions often sell out, so if you were into catching unique train rides, this would be one not to miss. The next one should be in May, 2013. Tickets usually go on sale in April. The largest collection of railroad serving china is also on display. The colors and patterns of the china are very interesting. The Museum is closed on Mondays and a suggested donation of $3.00 is requested. Their web site is railroadmuseumofoklahoma.org. Great pictures of the rolling stock on the site. HOWEVER, the best part of the Museum is a visit with Frank W. "Watermelon" Campbell, Museum Director. He is an endless fount of railroad information. If he has the time, a tour led by him is priceless. We came late in the day, but he insisted on giving us a grand tour. A true railroad enthusiast could spend the whole day visiting, but the average guest should plan on one to two hours to see the both the inside and outside artifacts of the Museum.

Great musem that is centrally located in Oklahoma City near Golf Course, Softball & Fire Fighter Musum, Zoo, Remington Park and MORE! The Railroad Museum is operated by volunteers. They restore Trains and put some back on track for rides on the 3rd Saturday of each month.

This museum has so much to offer to those wanting to learn about trains, or those who want to see the best collection of railroadiana in the state. They have a large static display of locomotives and rolling stock. Spring and fall, don't miss their bi annual caboose trains which leave Enid and run out west to Okeene in the Spring and Drummond in the fall. A big hit and plenty of great fun!!
