Eastern Shore Railway Museum

The Eastern Shore Railway Museum was started in 1988. It salutes train action on the peninsula that defines the eastern side of the Chesapeake Bay. It may be just as well that it was closed the day I went by, I was on a long drive and got home around dark as it was. They have a very nice little collection of large and small memorabilia. They’re worth the short drive west off of US 13 to Parksley VA. I shot these photos March 6, 2021.
