The fully restored & running Yankee Flyer is the must see train here. http://www.flyingyankee.com
You can't leave without checking out the $3.5 million model train set. Absolutely EPIC http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Great_Train_Story

Ride a real live steam train through the oldest tunnel in the area.
Has a short train ride behind a real train. Plenty of engines to see, fun for kids and train fan adults.

On display, the CB&Q engine 3006, a Hudson class S-4, 4-6-4 locomotive built in the 1930's, one of 12 ever made.
