The tour was excellent. The guide pointed out so many features that we never considered. Each car was different and well maintained or restored. The model train layout was great too

This was a great little side trip in Bowling Green. We did the Lost River Cave boat tour and had a couple more hours left in us so we checked out the museum. We made the last tour of the day with Cameron. He was wonderful, a little bit shy at first and once he got going his love of trains and knowledge was outstanding!! He spent all kinds of time explaining little extras during the train tour and gave us a glimpse of the exhibits that are currently under construction. As a nurse i am looking forward to the hospital car that will be ready in the next couple of years. We had tons of questions and he was awesome!! Thanks Cameron!

My wife and I engaged in a fascinating tour of an historic train, which has been refurbished by the Historic RailPark in Bowling Green, KY. I have always loved trains, but this look into the past and the fascinating body of knowledge gained with my new understanding of the ins and outs of this passenger line, sprinkled liberally with intriguing stories of the characters who interacted with the railway made the price of admission more than worthwhile. As a disabled man, I appreciated the fact that this tour was handicapped-friendly. This is a must for anyone who visits Bowling Green and who loves the lore of the rails!
