The Railroad museum is located on the ETSU campus. 176 Ross Dr is the address I found and successfully navigated to. There are a couple signs on campus and a railroad marker in front of the building. The hours are narrow (Sat 10a-3p) so be aware of that before visiting. When I showed up, there was a sign on the door saying they were temporarily closed. I was disappointed, but saw a family come out. So I went in to find the museum with the doors open for business! The museum is split over two rooms. One is a model railroad for a line that runs from Johnson City to Boone. There is an abundance of realistic detail here. You will find historic photos along the display that match the models almost exactly. There are stools throughout to give you a boosted view of the layout. The other side is a mixture of locations and is a larger room. You'll see some incredibly long trains here running around the building. You will find several volunteers working on the display and able to answer questions if you have any. This is a meticulously cared for Railroad Museum. With no charge to enter (donations accepted), there is no reason not to see this wonderful handiwork.
