Railroaders Memorial Museum

About

The Railroaders Memorial Museum seeks to preserve the stories and contributions of Central Pennsylvanians who left an imprint on their communities, industry, and nation. Museum displays include a rich array of artifacts, immersive environments, and life size dioramas of railroad workers performing various tasks typical of the Altoona Shops.

Since 2020, a refreshed team of museum professionals and board members have dedicated their efforts to build upon a mandate to preserve and promote the legacy of Central Pennsylvania railroaders past and present.. The organization has developed four core components to fulfill the mandate: Preservation, Promotion, Education, and Engagement. Through these core mandates, the Railroaders Memorial Museum will continue to appeal to tourists, donors, preservationists, educational institutions, and the rail industry by linking past with present.
