The B&O Railroad Museum in Baltimore's Inner Harbor area showcases an impressive collection of locomotives, railcars, and train history in a beautifully organized roundhouse and outdoor yard. You can walk through and climb inside actual trains, view multiple model train layouts (HO Scale and garden railroad when operating), and learn about railroad history through well-written explanations. Note that some outdoor attractions like the garden railroad may not operate during bad weather.
