Many Whistle Stop Shop items carry symbols of historic railroads and famous trains, some right here in the Museum’s world-class collection. Some customized merchandise is exclusive to the Whistle Stop Shop and is not sold elsewhere. If you need assistance, or would like some gift suggestions, contact a store associate.

● Honor a railroader, past or present, with a commemorative plaque in Railroaders’ Hall. Plaques attractively display the name, occupation, service record and affiliation of a railroad employee from any/all railroads. Railroaders’ Hall plaques occupy a prominent location on the east end of the Museum’s Rolling Stock Hall.

 

● Give a membership in the Friends of the Railroad Museum for year-round enjoyment and support of this amazing railroad history museum. Membership includes benefits like free admission, the Milepost membership magazine, discounts in the Whistle Stop Shopmuseum store and on Museum Rambles and more.

● Choose an all-time favorite locomotive or railroad car in the Museum’s Adopt-A-Train program. Adopters receive a thank you/adoption certificate, a three-to-five minute, customized video of the adopted train, a color photo of the train and a sign acknowledging the adoption placed on or next to the adopted train.

● Make a tax deductible donation or take out a sponsorship in the name of your dad or grad. Treat them to an upcoming Ramble or a Museum special event.
