Western Pennsylvania Model Railroad Museum

The Western Pennsylvania Model Railroad Museum is a volunteer non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation of history of railroading in the Pittsburgh area. This is done in part by creating a 40′ X 100′ HO scale, prototypical and historically accurate model railroad. A project that has been on going since 1988.

Measuring in at 4,000 square feet, the display is one of the largest in the nation. It depicts the tracks between Pittsburgh, PA to Cumberland Maryland set in the summer of 1952, and portrays numerous landmarks such as the P&LE train station (Market Square in Pittsburgh), J&L Steel Mill, Cox’s Department Store (McKeesport, PA), Falling Water, Ohiopyle PA, Helmstetter’s Curve and the Cumberland Station (Cumberland, MD).

The Holiday Train Show runs from November 8th through January 11th. They’re open Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.

Admission: $6 for adults, $4 for children under 12
