Lake Shore Railway Historical Society
North East, Pennsylvania

History, Historical Society, Science, Specialized

Only ten miles from the last large locomotive builder in North America is the collection of the Lake Shore Railway Historical Society. That collection includes not only rare railroad pieces built by the men of woman of Erie, General Electric, it also includes a half a dozen unmodified Pullman railroad passneger cars, some dating back to the early twentieth century. Standing on the platform in front of the 1899 railroad depot that your relative might have once departed from, you can watch modern rail traffic go screaming by.
