This special traveling exhibit will give visitors a new take on the railroads that have shaped the West we know and love.  The West the Railroads Made does more than just display the growth of railroad technology, because it truly paints a picture of how railroads transformed the West by bringing ethnic diversity, commercialism, and creating a link between the cities and countryside.  This exhibit will display over 150 exciting photographs and artifacts.  Make sure you don’t miss your train to this exhibit!
