The curator for the Tooele Valley Museum and Historic Park has contacted me to help improve our website's content. With our opening hours limited due to the COVID-19 situation (we have only a few public hours available on weekends and our main museum building is closed with the outdoor grounds the only thing open); there has been a push to beef up our digital presence.

One of these projects has been trying to build a registry of train rides both locally and globally, so families who visit our museum might be able to get a quick resource of other railroads they might visit in the future. Obviously I doubt we will be able to get every single railroad ever onto this list, however it does have a global vision with "coming soon" slots for railroads across the world. Any suggestions for additional content in any of our sections would be appreciated in this thread, I can throw them up and make sure we have them available on our site.

Dear xboxtravis:

Please consider adding the East Troy Electric Railroad to your Midwest listing. We are 30 miles southwest of Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

You could save a lot of time and effort and simply point them here:
https://railroaddata.com/rrlinks/Touris ... seums_USA/

Over 600 tourist railroads and museums listed. Organized by region and state.

Seems counterproductive to duplicate it when you could use that time for things specific to your operations, like equipment history.
