Railway Museum
My favorite part of the Railway Museum was how I was able to explore the exhibit on my own. There was a portion called the tech lab which was really cool and interactive. The tech lab has several stations that were created to show the development and changes in the railway system that allowed for train cars to be more efficient and have smoother rides. One station had three individual cars on a track. The first car was wood and was on a wooden track so it was quite difficult to pull the car against the track. The second car was wood on a steel track which was a bit easier. The the third car was steel and it was on a steel track which allowed it to be the smoothest and have the least amount of tension. It was cool to see the different demonstrations of how trains have evolved.

I didn’t get a chance to see the tech lab, it sounds cool. Getting to see the resistance from the different kinds of tracks is interesting. I got to do the old train simulator, where I can definitely feel how they are much smoother now than before.
I also enjoyed our free time. Although i didn’t see the tech lab I got to go through and “conduct” a train to see what the temperatures, smells and experience would be like and it was interesting definitely not something I would want to be in charge of.
