Salamanca Rail Museum

A cute little museum. The last was extremely knowledgeable about the history and future plans of the railway. They hope to extend the railway in the next few years to bring it back to it's former glory and I hope they do. Salamanca is such a cute town and should definitely be a tourist spot.

We enjoyed the museum alot, the lady there was full of information and interesting facts about the depot and it's history. A nice place to visit if you are in the area or staying at Allegany and want a quick day trip from camp for the kids, they will love the place.

A beautifully restored passenger depot is the highlight. Talking to Jaré Cardinal, director of the Salamanca Rail Museum, was a close second. The pictures and artifacts were very nice as well. The stories and information she told us was very interesting. She told us of some grand plans they have in the works and we certainly hope they come true. Other than a donation, the museum is free. Definitely worth a stop.

Very nice museum. Nice layout. Old station is beautiful.

Amazing stop with lots of cool train artifacts! Jare is a very knowledgeable lady with a deep love for history and archives. She makes this museum! If you stop plan on talking to her to learn more about the railroad and local history!

Beautiful building in great shape. Sadly going to be closed until December (or longer) due to covid.

Such a neat place. The gift shop is ultra nice. Hours are actually 12pm to 4pm, but it's super nice outside of the station also. The one who works there is very knowledgeable. I am so, so happy that the Salamenca Rail Museum is actively working with the Seneca Nation to properly expand the Rail. Looking forward to visiting another time!

The woman who is working in the rail museum was super friendly and very knowledgeable about the place, she showed us around and told us a lot of stories, this made this an awesome stop to look back at history of the rail. They are making plans for improvements so I would definitely like to go back and see them

Very informative tour guide. Small museum but worth the stop.

Very historic, must go see if you are in the area!!! Kids would enjoy too!

Nice little museum with a lovely curator. Recommend.

Packed with cool items and displays, relevant and local photos from the past, beautiful paintings, and a great N-scale model layout. Gentleman was extremely friendly and knowledgeable, could have easily stayed for another few hours.

We had a wonderful visit today. Mr. Carlson was a great host and an excellent and knowledgeable guide. I hope to make it back when I'm in the neighborhood.

Arrived just as it opened for the season. Staff were so patient with my ADHD train mad 11 yr old grandson.

Awesome museum with plenty of history on display as well as old train cars to explore - gotta love that! Super friendly & helpful staff too.

Quality time with Jare looking at new document accessions. Several CSX manuals and rule books, as well as several employee time tables. Also, some discussion of STEM, enrichment projects, and making interactive displays using items in the collection.

Nice little rail museum best part it's free

I don't know where to start there is so many different trains pictures cars and cars that you can walk in this place is awesome I am glad that I have the pleasure to be able to be part of this place the Train Museum in Salamanca if you have not been there you should check it out it is awesome

A small place but really great staff with loads of information about the history of the railway in the area. The kids really enjoyed our visit.

I've visited several times over the years. Hopefully you'll get Stan as your guide. You won't find anyone more enthusiastic about Western New York railway history.
