National Train Day 2013 at the Memphis Railway and Trolley Museum was a huge success and we are working to make it an even bigger event for 2014. Amtrak has committed to a display of their equipment which visitors will be able to examine both inside and out. 

The MRTM is in contact with the railroads serving Memphis and should also have some of their equipment on display. Last year the CN and BNSF both had freight locomotives on display.  Visitors were allowed to board the CN locomotive and check out the cab. We are hopeful in repeating the experience this year.
