   I don't know of any since it was in revenue service only a short time many   
   years ago.  However, it was a pretty mundane typical station.   
      
   Pictures of the museum during its early days might be helpful.  Back then the   
   museum was mostly in its original condition, not extensively rebuilt as it is   
   today.

   The railcar exhibits do get moved around a lot as needed for new exhibits or   
   for special events.  They DO operate fan trips from the museum from time to   
   time.  I think they're up to $50 now.
