Pennsylvania - Railroad Hall & the Locomotive

Philadelphia, PA - The Massive Baldwin 60000 Locomotive is Blowing Its Steam and is Ready to Rumble through Philadelphia Once Again. We Want You at the Controls.

We would like to officially welcome you to The Train Factory, the new home of the Baldwin 60000 locomotive. This totally immense family experience will transport you into an authentic, active, train factory.

Feel the heat of the steam, hear the sounds of the machines, see what it takes to be an engineer, discover how to investigate the scene of an accident. Throughout the exhibit, you will experience the power of the locomotive, from the inside out. Discover how modern locomotives use diesel, electricity, and magnetic levitation to travel longer distances at greater speeds than ever before. The grand finale of The Train Factory is when you take the Baldwin 60000 and its new engine for its experimental test run. Can the boiler handle the pressure? Will the boiler blow? Will the pistons push? The fate of the Baldwin 60000 is in your hands as you help move the train along the tracks by adding coal to the fire, blow the whistle, and release the throttle. Last Call! All Aboard!
