Although the center closes at 5PM, make sure you get there before 3:45PM to be able to see both trains together. They put the trains back into storage around 4:05pm and 4:30pm.

Nice site to visit worth the trip. Only 1.5 hrs from SLC. Be sure to get there before 5PM to see the Locomotives.

If you have a choice, go in the summer, when the snow is melted and you can see the trains on the tracks.

Обязательно сходите на экскурсию к репликам паровозов. Добрый дядя-машинист расскажет немного истории.
