The Spectacular New Train Exhibit at Chicago's Museum of Science & Industry
Since 1941, four generations have been thrilled and delighted by the museum's impressive train exhibit. In 2002, an all-new train exhibit was introduced. Both kids and grown-ups greeted it with great enthusiasm. The display shows the importance of railroads today by focusing on four major functions – intermodal transportation, passenger service, transporting grain, and moving raw materials.

Each of these stories is told by taking visitors on a 2200 scale-mile journey between Chicago and Seattle.

There's so much to see, you'll have to come back time and again to see it all-or buy this video.
