The scene:

The National Railroad Museum inspires lifelong learning by providing dynamic educational opportunities through the preservation of railroad objects, engaging exhibits, and innovative programs.
Established in 1956 by several local businessmen, the National Railroad Museum began as a Steam Locomotive Committee aimed at preserving a favorite steam locomotive and other rolling stock. Gen. Carl R. Gray, commander of military railroads during World War II, simultaneously advocated for the creation of a national railroad museum.
