We love old locomotives and this small museum has a few on the display. Unfortunately we didn't have time to spend time there but we saw a few from the road as it's located next to Highway 101.

Cute Gem
Cute gem, wish it better days. Great for kids to interact with the past. Laid back atmosphere. Needs some funding and love but would be so sad to not have it. Needs a big donor to come in and fund some maintenance. Definitely don’t want to miss though.

Enjoyable experience
If you are in Coos Bay, this is worth checking out. Young children in particular will enjoy it. They can climb aboard various trains and see various railroad equipment up close. Entry is free although they encourage donations. Free parking on the street outside. There is also a small gift shop and a museum. Nothing too spectacular but enjoyable, especially if you are interested in trains and the history of the railways.

A small train museum, with a lot of coast history. All the displays are open to the public. The museum has restricted hours, so check them before you go.

Climb around on old trains
We were greeted by an enthusiastic volunteer who explained what there was to see. There's no admission charge but one can donate to support their efforts. We climbed all over and through the trains there, read the descriptions and the history. Small gift shop to look at. Fun and cheap! Nice to see people sharing their love of history with a new generation. Close to the boardwalk so we wandered that afterwards.
