The museum is in York, England, and is known to be one of the most fascinating. Some people saying &#8220;, imagine the world\u2019s greatest model train collection, expand the scale and authenticity of that collection by about ten thousand times, and you have some idea of what it\u2019s like to visit the very authentic, very full-size collection of historic locomotives at the British National Railway Museum (BNRM).&#8221; The&nbsp;<strong>National Railway Museum<\/strong>&nbsp;is a museum in York forming part of the British National Museum of Science and Industry. It tells the story of rail transport in Britain and its impact on society. It is said to be the largest railway museum in the world and is home to several famous locomotives. The Shildon Locomotion Museum is a branch of the NRM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-rounded\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.uww.edu\/ridetherails\/files\/2021\/11\/STEA-Aerial-960-x-686.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-345\" width=\"348\" height=\"235\"\/><figcaption><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nps.gov\/stea\/index.htm\">https:\/\/www.nps.gov\/stea\/index.htm<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Steamtown_National_Historic_Site\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Steamtown_National_Historic_Site\">https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Steamtown_National_Historic_Site<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color has-background\" style=\"background-color:#135832\">&#8220;<strong>Steamtown National Historic Site<\/strong>\u00a0(NHS) is a\u00a0railroad museum\u00a0and\u00a0heritage railroad\u00a0located on 62.48 acres (25.3\u00a0ha)\u00a0in downtown\u00a0Scranton, Pennsylvania, at the site of the former Scranton yards of Delaware, Lackawanna, and Western Railroad\u00a0(DL&amp;W).
