The National Museum of Transportation

A nonprofit organization

The National Museum of Transportation is located on an expansive 42-acre campus approximately 16 miles southwest of downtown St. Louis. This historic location once belonged to the Pacific Railroad and includes one of the first man-made railroad tunnels built west of the Mississippi River. The Museum readily shares its resources with the community, hosting nearly 200,000 visitors every year.

This year, we are fundraising for a BIG Cosmetic Restoration on the Union Pacific BIG Boy #4006! Support us as we power wash, scrape, prime, and paint the UP BIG Boy #4006 engine and tender. Your donation will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $15,000, thanks to a generous donation from the family of a former Museum volunteer.

Mission

The National Museum of Transportation will be the leader in protecting and interpreting North American transportation heritage. As stewards of our heritage, we will provide engaging education programs, create interactive and interpretive exhibits, and conserve transportation history for the next generations.
