Small but nice railroad museum, primarily on the surprisingly long history of the Long Island Railroad (LIRR). Displays include two steam locomotives, passenger and other train cars of the LIRR (some of fairly recent vintage), a rideable miniature train, and model train displays. The staff and volunteers were enthusiastic and helpful.

The Lionel train layout was huge, running several train lines, houses, cars, people the white works were fantastic!! The train store has lots of books, model trains, HO, N Scale and O27 gauge, children's books, toys and more!!

A fun place for sure. Not very big, but appropriately so. Really enjoyed the vintage model train running (I used to operate a 24" gauge model upstate). The indoor model display is world-class. There are many interactive accessories that can be easily triggered with a simple button push. My son loved it. Really a very unique place. I'm glad we went!

This museum is adorable and is a train lovers dream. There is a train ride that takes you on 5 loops and they have old and new trains. The parking lot is across the street and there's murals on some of the trains. It's a short visit so definitely plan out other stuff to do in the Riverhead area. With taking my time looking it everything I was there for about 45 minutes.

This place is a hidden gem! A must see for train lovers.
You get to push buttons/play with model trains and ride a minature train around the museum. Very friendly and helpful staff. Great fun for little ones.
