NYNH&H = New York, New Haven & Hartford
This museum not only offers rides on trains with varrying equipment, but offers rides on their turntable.
Danbury had three railroads. Those three railroads became part of the NYNH&H in 1892. This Union Station was opened on Jul 13, 1903. "Timetables from the early 20th century report that about 125 trains passed through town daily." [DanburyRail_UnionStation]

Meet Me At The Danbury Railway Museum. A few factors combined to make a visit to The Danbury Railway Museum even more interesting than usual on Saturday, August 5, 2023. Established in 1994 on the site of the former New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad yard and passenger station in Danbury, Connecticut, the museum today has over 500 members and more than 60 pieces of equipment, including several that rotate as the operating hourly train ride. It proximity to the MTA-Metro-North/Connecticut DOT Danbury Line makes it both easy accessible and as well as a scene with a constantly changing backdrop.

After commuter operations were moved out in 1993, the museum formed in 1994 and went about the work of restoring the building. Today it houses a display of area railroad artifacts.
