National Railway Museum, York

If you love trains, you should visit the National Railway Museum in York, England.

Shoot, even if your only contact with trains has been counting cars while watching them pass at a crossing, you should visit the NRM.

The museum covers its subject about as well as any museum covers anything. From the evolution of horse-pulled engines to steam-powered and on to diesel and electric, the sprawling display has it all.

Even the changes in luggage carts and ticket offices are detailed.

Trains have an inherent emotional appeal. America has lost its rail network, but there was a time when even small towns on the Great Plains were served by trains to and from the larger cities.
