Mission and Purpose. The Museum’s mission is the preservation and education of railroading history in Fort Bend County, Texas. Exhibits span railroading history from the early days of Texas development through current railroading corporations and provide insight into the untold stories of the working-class and minorities. Programs deliver an interactive experience for guests of all ages. Guests can manipulate an engine simulator and interlocker machine. A viewing platform provides a safe space to watch passing freight trains. Model train layouts connect hobbyists to railroading of the past and allow imaginations to build for the future. Xxxxxxxxx'x Tower 17, on display at the Museum, connects guests to over 100 years of community and railroading history while highlighting the men and women who worked there. Guests can step back in time when they explore the 1970's caboose or the 1879 passenger railcar. The Museum's education program incorporates science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) concepts in addition to the railroading history covered by tours. These program modules are primarily provided through field trips for many Fort Bend County public and private schools, including Title I schools.
