If you’re into trains the way some of our staff are at Tim’s Truck Capital and Auto Sales, be sure to visit some of these nearby train museums. There’s something for everyone.

The Seashore Trolley Museum Kennebunkport, ME
This museum is a mostly volunteer-run not-for-profit organization. It is the oldest and largest electric railway museum in the world and is the operating entity of the New England Electric Railway Historical Society. The Museum’s mission is to present a living history of public transportation in the U.S. The Seashore Trolley Museum was founded in 1939 with just one open trolley car, No. 31 from the Biddeford & Saco Railroad Company. Over the years thousands of members have followed the founders by helping the Museum grow to be one of the premier electric railway museums in the world. Their collection contains over 250 transit vehicles, most of them trolleys, from all over the United States, Canada and many other countries.

The White Mountain Central Railroad Lincoln NH
This railroad is located within the grounds of Clark's Trading Post which serves as both a museum and tourist attraction. Visitors can go for a 2.5-mile train ride. It was originally opened as Ed Clark's "Eskimo Sled Dog Ranch" in 1928 and was focused on raising and exhibiting Eskimo Sled Dogs. Today, the rare Steam Logging Locomotive will again be powering trains when it reopens in May 2017. Visitors can ride the steam train, enjoy the high speed water slide and watch a trained bear show and Chinese circus acts. There’s also a climbing tower and blaster boats. Fun for the whole family.

The "470" Railroad Club Portland, ME
Established in 1954 to commemorate the last run of steam locomotive No. 470, in passenger service on the Maine Central Railroad, the 470 Club now owns and maintains a collection of historic locomotives and cars. They are on display at the Conway Scenic Railroad in North Conway, New Hampshire. The club has an impressive collection of photo negatives and color transparencies covering Northern New England railroads, past and present.
