Travel Town Museum

Located in the northwest corner of Los Angeles, Griffith Park is home to the Travel Town Museum. This is a great outdoor museum featuring 43 railroad engines, cars and other rolling stock from the 1880s to the 1930s.











Best of all we were able to climb onto the full size steam engine, cabooses and passenger cars.







We took the small train that did a loop around the perimeter, and that was pretty cool for the kids.





Of course all the cameras came out when we were seated ready for the train to go. Having some shade was pretty awesome - I think the heat rose to 37°C - so yeah, we were sweatin'.







The tickets were so cheap at $2.75 per person, and considering it is free to get into the museum I think the train ride is a bargain!





Certainly was a fun way to spend a couple of hours in LA.
