Been there a few times. They have a lot of neat stuff. You almost can't see it all in a day!

One of the best railroad museums in the country. While not as "pretty" as some of the others, their collection blows just about everyone else's away.

This. Plan on spending most of the day there if you want to take everything in...and then come back the next day for more.SD80MAC wrote:You almost can't see it all in a day!

Or you could watch the Transformers movie that used IRM for a backdrop...

I visited IRM on the 31st last month and it was very cool however 4 hours was not enough but next time I will plan on the whole day. They had a lot of stock that I thought needed some TLC but still very cool to see.
