Train Museum

     ROCK ISLAND TRAIN MUSEUM

This Rock Island Railroad Museum  reveals the lasting legacy of fhe Rock Island Railroad freight and passenger trains that ran from Chicago to Los Angeles  with scheduled stops in  Gerald, for over 85 years.  

The hands-on museum exhibits  have interactive dioramas showing  how the Railroad  has impacted our community in the past and today. 

These museum displays illustrate how our Rock Island town currently hosts a rural farm hub, provides a trailhead for the “rails to trails” 

Rock Island Trail State Park, preserves  the past with five historic buildings trailside, and supports an energized community on US Hwy 50.
