Delaware - Wilmington & Western Railroad
Wilmington, DE - On the last weekend of May in 1966, a new steam tourist railroad began carrying children of all ages through Delaware's historic Red Clay Valley. Engine No. 92, a former Canadian National 2-6-0, pulled the first revenue train between Greenbank Station and Mt. Cuba.
Over fifty years later, the Wilmington & Western continues to carry thousands of passengers each year, and has become one of the East Coast's premier scenic tourist railroads. From your seat on our vintage train, history will come alive, senses will be excited, and a forgotten era will be re-lived (and we think you'll have a little fun along the way)!

District of Columbia - Smithsonian Institution
Ed Pick
America on the Move highlights the Smithsonian's unparalleled and extremely popular transportation collections in new and creative ways. Using multimedia technology, immersive environments, and other theatrical techniques, America on the Move brings ships, trains, trucks, and automobiles back to life—or, more accurately, back to history. See these artifacts as they once were: moving people and products from place to place, a vital part of the nation's transportation system, a vital part of our business, social, and cultural history.
This major exhibition examines how transportation—from 1876 to 1999—has shaped our American identity from a mostly rural nation into a major economic power, forged a sense of national unity, delivered consumer abundance, and encouraged a degree of social and economic mobility unlike that of any other nation of the world.

Florida - Flagler Museum
Palm Beach, FL - Henry Morrison Flagler's Florida East Coast Railway and the luxury hotels he built along the way, linked the entire east coast of Florida, establishing agriculture and
tourism as Florida's leading industries and Palm Beach as a world-renowned
winter resort. When it was completed in 1902, Whitehall, Flagler's Gilded
Age estate in Palm Beach, was hailed by the New York Herald as "more
wonderful than any palace in Europe, grander and more magnificent than any
other private dwelling in the world." Today, Whitehall is a National
Historic Landmark and is open to the public as the Flagler Museum and
features guided tours, Flagler's private railcar, changing exhibits, and
special programs.
