About Eastern Shore Railway Museum

The Eastern Shore Railway Museum is located at 18568 Dunne Avenue, Parksley, Virginia, United States. The museum exhibits historic trains and equipment. The museum also contains a restored train station with railroad memorabilia from the lines that operated on the Eastern Shore of Virginia.

The ESRM is open from noon until 4 p.m., Wednesday through Saturday, from March through October, and housed in a restored 1906 Pennsylvania Railroad passenger station. On its siding are two cabooses, a baggage car, a Pullman sleeper, Seaboard 6106, a Budd dining car, a 1913 wooden box car and the Diplomat, an observation car. The museum also includes an 1890s maintenance-of-way tool shed, a crossing guard shanty, and various railroad artifacts.

The ESRM no longer maintains a website but it does have a Facebook page.

ESRM museum members were affiliated with the Delmarva Chapter NRHS who had staffed the annual train excursions in held on the first Saturday of October in Hurlock, Maryland. In recent years they were replaced by Wilmington Chapter NRHS members as the Parksley Chapter became depleted by the aging and death of its members.
