Celebrating the Route 66 Centennial in 2026
Ride the Rails & Relive the Mother Road
As America prepares to celebrate the
Route 66 Centennial in 2026

History in Motion
Other museums offer you static exhibits. But when you visit the Oklahoma Railway Museum, you can actually see history in motion.
See the steam engines that carried settlers across the Great Plains. Run your fingers over the same handrails your great-great-grandparents touched. And best of all, sign up for a ride and you can actually ride the great trains of yesteryear — just like your ancestors did.
Static exhibits can show you history. Here, you experience it. And best of all? Admission to the museum itself is free, although there are ways you can support the museum.
What Visitors Said
Fantastic experience. From the check in to the vendors on site to the crew aboard the train. Our girls enjoyed the train ride for the Polar Express. The hot chocolate was super delicious the cookies were TASTY also. I'm very excited to do this again in the future. The value was worth it in my perspective. Whomever is in charge of logistics did a great job and should be commended.

Polar Express was out of this world amazing!!! Very professional and actors/actresses were insane good! The whole performance was good and the singing brought tears to my eyes. Loved it. May go back again before Christmas.

Participated in both diesel & steam “At the Throttle “ events. To live out my dream of not only operating a diesel, but the opportunity to be in control of a steam locomotive were the greatest gifts ever received for my birthday. Both engineers on each piece of equipment were friendly, patient, and extremely knowledgeable of their locomotives and “rail history “ associated with the old Katy Line the museum operates on. I learned so much in my short time spent on the rails. Thank you ORM members and volunteers for making these events possible to the public.

About ORM
The Oklahoma Railway Museum has grown exponentially from its humble beginnings. Early on, there was only one operational locomotive, and the Museum was only able to take 350 passengers per year. In 2019, we handled over 38,000. We've gone from one operational locomotive to four, and more are in the works.
Though it's grown from its beginnings as a small chapter of the NRHS, the Museum still has the same mission those founding members had: to help people experience the unique thrill of a historic passenger train ride. We're not just preserving history — we're keeping it in motion.
