UPSTATE LEGENDS! The Medina, NY Railroad and Toy Train Museum!
If you are a Baby Boomer, this remarkable place in Ontario County is where all of the toy train sets of your youth ended up. It is a stunning display of nostalgia that you will be hard pressed to soon forget.
The Medina Railroad Museum holds the largest exhibit of electric toy trains east of the Mississippi. Thousands of square feet inside this expansive historic old train depot are filled from wall to wall with trains whizzing about in a dizzying display. The layouts reflect different eras of Western New York (and the Erie Canal) as the toy trains zoom by hundreds of vintage miniature buildings and thousands of tiny people waving at the trains and going about life as it was in Central New York. Outside, the museum hosts real, actual train rides for all. These vintage cars and gigantic locomotives pull you away from the depot on a series of them train rides all year long. These include murder mystery trains, fall foliage excursions, Easter Bunny train rides, Halloween rides, and much more.
The biggest event of the year is always the Christmastime Polar Express one-hour train ride into the woods. In this gallery you will see all the details including a video of this annual holiday event. It includes cookies and hot coca, live reindeer, Santa Claus and much more to delight all ages. Memories are made at the Medina Railroad Museum.
Made for the little ones, and yes, made for Mom and Dad also!
