Pleasant Point Railway and Museum, where you can ride on a fully operational AB699 Steam Train and also the world’s only Model T Ford Railcar. There are two museums for you to enjoy; the one at the station and the Keanes Crossing complex which you ride down to on the train and which houses a much larger collection of displays. Among them are a vintage printery, the collection of rolling stock and locomotives as well as displays of old computers and telexes. There is even a small movie theatre that screens fabulous old cartoons. Truly something for everyone.
