Volunteers Are Building Gopher State Railway Museum!

The mission of Gopher State Railway Museum is to educate the public through collection, preservation, restoration, display, and operation of railroad equipment and artifacts.

GSRM 2016 Season is Here!!

GSRM is open from 10am to 3pm the first Saturday of the month between May and October - see our "Hours of Operation" page for details.

Thank you to everyone that visited during Dozinky Days Saturday 17Sep2016!

GSRM was open Saturday, 17Sep2016 between 10am and 4pm for train rides.  A good crowd of visitors stopped by to ride the train and check GSRM's progress.

Caboose rides were a popular added attraction this year during Dozinky Days.  Visitors had an opportunity to ride GSRM's 1956 Milwaukee Road, bay window caboose.
