Museum   « on: Sep 14th, 2005, 12:52am » Quick-Jump   Reply w/Quote   Modify Hey I'm taking a trip to the museum to spend some cash soon, but this will my second time in the area, and first time looking for the museum. The RCT&HS site said the museum gift shop was in Temple Station. this is on the BM&R line down south of the S. Hamburg shop right? Is this the actual museum, or just a gift shop? Where do i find all the restored and soon-to-be-restored equipment? thanks! Logged RDG484 Former Member Re: Reading Co.
