In accordance with COVID-19 considerations and health orders, cloth face masks are required on the train, in buildings, in the Gift Station, and anywhere social distancing of at least six feet is not possible.  Enhanced cleaning protocols have been implemented on the train and throughout the site. Museum capacity is limited to 50% of full occupancy. Trains will be limited to 30% capacity and cars will be sanitized between each ride, including seats, windows, and handrails.  Advanced purchasing is strongly encouraged for the train ride due to capacity limitations.

In accordance with CDC and other guidelines, access to some areas and exhibits will be limited or restricted. The museum is walking intensive and involves entering and exiting several buildings and outside areas. Visitors with mobility issues are encouraged to bring their own wheelchairs, walkers, etc., as required.  One car of the train is equipped for ADA accessibility including two wheelchair spaces and the availability of a wheelchair lift.  The other cars on the train are not ADA accessible due to the vintage nature of their construction.
