Thank you for starting the thread this week, Borden Tunnel! Great group of photos. 
On day 2 of RailCamp East, held in June, we visited the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania in Strasburg, PA. The campers, broken into 4 groups, took to different parts of the museum to explore and learn about railroading's past. This is the "Johnstown Flood" engine, which sits atop a pit so visitors to the museum can look underneath a steam engine.
The view from above the tracks shows steam, electric and diesel engines, The John Bull replica is newer than the GG1 to the right.
Aaron Fried, a volunteer at the Museum, was at RailCamp in 2015 and RailCamp Northwest in 2016. Many campers have moved on to railroad related activities and jobs. Here, he leads a tour of some pieces on display.
This group gets an introduction to 4-4-2 no 7002 and they all get a chance to sit in the cab of the engine.
This is Nigel in the window, and Paul on the footplate.
They all get a chance to walk through the GG1 locomotive. Jacob takes a grip of the grab irons and ducks his head to enter.
Lotos Club, a private car, is the next piece we will explore.
There is a combination of diner, lounge area set up as if the guests were on board to take the train to Chicago.
The early 20th Century brought the bathroom into the home, with plumbing fixtures that we still recognize today.
The only surviving E7 diesel, on beautiful display
A neat part of the museum shows the interaction of rail and road vehicles. This hearse and a few other buggies are displayed along a train of the early 1900s.
The tour of the restoration shop. There isn't much room, so there are two levels to perform the work.
The group posed in front of Nickel Plated 2-8-4 no. 757, which is being prepared for movement to Ohio.
Another giant in the museum is 4-8-2 no. 6755.
The kids also take on research projects to deliver a program on Friday. The Sunnyside yard switcher is the subject for this group.
The Amtrak AEM7 is one of the display locomotives the kids had a chance to enter. Tyler poses for the camera.
