THE INDIANA TRANSPORTATION MUSEUM SCHOOL PROGRAMS

Railroads in the Midwest

"Railroads in The Midwest" brings your students to the Indiana Transportation Museum. The train museum's specially trained "Conductor of Education" will guide your students through the static displays at the ITM Museum site, as well as on their train ride experience. Students will learn about the important contributions made by the State of Indiana in the development of early transportation and historic railroad travel throughout the Midwest.

During the train museum tour, your class will see and learn about:

• Cabooses - the office for freight trains and home for freight crews
• Freight Cars
• The Sleeping Car
• The Diner
• The Historic Railway Post Office Car
• Baggage Car
• Hobbs Station
• Railroad Communications and Safety

"Railroads in the Midwest" tours may be booked from April through September. Cost for the tour and train ride is: Children and Adults $7.50 each (one Teacher per 15 Students Free), with a minimum charge of $320. If your school group is too small to meet the minimum, we will work with you to schedule a date and time when your group can be combined with another. The train ride is a round-trip between the Museum in Forest Park and Morse Lake, north of Cicero. Trips to or from any other point on our line MAY cost more.
