Railroad Museum in Rosenberg
Photographer: Kevin Stillman

Rosenberg Railroad Museum

Since 2002, the Rosenberg Railroad Museum has amassed a collection of artifacts, maps, photographs, semaphores, wigwag and memorabilia detailing the history of the "Great Rails" in and around Rosenberg and Fort Bend County and their importance to the city's history. Special exhibits include a HO-gauge working model train and an 1879 business railcar recalling the golden days of train travel. Tower 17 was the last traditional manned railroad-interlocking tower in Texas. It closed in February 2004 and was moved a half-mile to the museum grounds. The museum hosts its annual Railroad Festival the first Saturday in March. A member of the Texas Rail Tourism Alliance. Open 10 a.m.–5 p.m. Tue.–Sat. and 1–5 p.m. Sun. Special tours by appointment. Admission charge. 1921 Avenue F, next to the busy BNSF and UP main lines. 281/633-2846. www.rosenbergrrmuseum.org.
