The Berkshire Scenic Railway Museum is pleased to introduce this new blog to keep our visitors and supporters up to date on our organization. We’ll be sharing updates on our events and activities, news about our equipment restoration efforts, stories from the region’s railroad history, and more!
Today, we’re pleased to share that the Berkshire Scenic Railway Museum has new merchandise available. Our online store offers Berkshire Scenic Railway Museum and Hoosac Valley Train Ride T-shirts, sweatshirts, hats, and stickers. They’re a great way to show your support for our organization and to assist us financially!
All proceeds from online store sales will support the repainting of New Haven Caboose C-561 to restore it to its “Trailiner” appearance. The caboose joined the New Haven Railroad’s pioneering trailer-on-flatcar piggyback service in December 1952, and featured the Trailiner logo to help promote the service. Just two cabooses were used in Trailiner trains, and C-561 is the only one that survives today.
We offer additional items at our seasonal gift shops at Lenox Station Museum and Adams Station. Lenox Station Museum is open Saturdays from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend. Adams Station is open during the scheduled departures of our scenic train rides.
