Brown County Railroad Museum
Adds New Wheelchair Car
Owners Bob Young and Brian Goodknight would like to announce to friends and fans of the Brown County Railroad Museum that after a challenging winter and a beautiful spring, the museum is off and running. The B & B Railroad is running and now has a new“ wheelchair capable” car. The car can accommodate wheelchairs up to 30 inches wide. The Railroad Museum is dedicated to making the facilities open and meaningful for special needs. A class of 12 students tried out the new car in May. All had a great time and the group plans to return in October.
The Gallery of Steam is open and Bob and Brian are giving tours.

They are still working hard on other areas of the museum. You can see some Lionel and Garden Railway trains in the Model Train Exhibit. The“ What is It?” board should be completed by the end of the month to provide information and challenges to railroad fans. The handicapped bathroom will be completed soon, too.
You can visit them on Saturday and Sunday afternoons from 1 to 5 p. m. The museum is located 10 miles North of Nashville at corner of SR 135 and Three Story Hill Rd. Come watch them grow.
The Brown County Railroad Museum could always use volunteers for various projects and to welcome visitors. You can contact Brian and Bob at( 812) 720-1229 and at < locobobtrains @ gmail. com >. •
