The Railroad Museum of Oklahoma is a railroad museum located in the former Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway freight depot in Enid, Oklahoma. The museum began in 1977 and is a non-profit operated by the Enid chapter of the National Railway Historical Society. [1] The freight depot was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015.
The museum's collection includes two rooms of operating HO and N-gauge model railroads, a reference library, dining car china, and other railroad artifacts. Engines and rolling stock in its collection include the Frisco 1519 steam locomotive, an operational 50-ton G.E. switcher locomotive, nine authentic cabooses, five different kinds of boxcars, twelve different types of freight cars, two types of flatcars, a three-dome tank car, a railway post office car, and a former Amtrak lounge car that is now used as a dining car.
