Absolutely amazing to see railroad history being preserved and restored! Came here for one of their open houses and was not disappointed! To see a running DDA40X and a freshly painted warbonnet is amazing! They have both 5511 and 3985 taken apart right now, and it’s incredible to be able to get up close and look inside these two incredible locomotives. I cannot wait until they get one of those two steamers fired up. I will be back to see it!

Oohh, where do I start?? The RRHMA in conjunction with NRE, with its facilities, rolling stock, rail equipment, and both steam and diesel motive power has been fantastic!! I'm attending Train Days in April (4/25, 4/26, 2025) visiting from Texas. The facilities are outstanding, the engines a wonder, and the full time crew and hosts are attentive and helpful. Persons by the names Jon Strand, Steve, Zack and an unknown vested gentlemen were all terrific to talk to!! The mini shop walk and dinner were great!! Let's see what the car show and shop tour are all about!!

We visited here with my daughter's class for a field trip. It was super informative and lots of fun. Looking forward to attending more events here.

Not yet open to the public in Silvis, Il. This is a worthy organization in the restoration and operation of “Heritage” railroad steam and diesel/electric locomotive and passenger cars. Donations are excepted and used to restore these classic pieces of railroad history!

Amazing place that will be incredible in a few years when it opens to the public.
