    I went there today. We get to see every single locomotive they had in store and even drove one and it was my first time ever going to a railway museum and riding an actual steam locomotive and I hope I can go there again soon.

      Technically true, but according to the museum railroad's rulebook, a single locomotive is still officially considered a train.
