Come Ride With Us...

It is almost time to plan your 2009 visit to the Indiana Transportation Museum, and our schedule for the coming year will be posted soon.

In 2009 our volunteers will take you on a wide range of train excursion experiences for the whole family including caboose rides, our family-oriented Pizza Train and the popular Dinner on the Diner.

Take a virtual tour of ITM via our video excursions (in Windows Media format, high speed connection needed), and see what's happening at the museum...

Visit our 2008 Events Calendar and see all the fun tours and trips we have available!

 


Safety First!

ITM operates under the same Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) rules and regulations as the "big" rail lines like AMTRAK or CSX. Those federal rules that can be found in 49 CFR led to the creation of the General Code of Operating Rules and ITM uses GCOR.  GCOR rule #1.1.1 is "In case of doubt or uncertainty, take the safe course."  Our motto is "Safety First".

All 39 miles of track ITM runs on is inspected regularly by an outside rail consultant, and maintained by qualified ITM staff to meet federal standards. All ITM locomotives and coaches are also regularly inspected per FRA guidelines from top to bottom to ensure safe operation of all our excursions.

Our locomotive engineers, brakemen and conductors are all trained and certified per FRA regulations, and must pass the same qualification tests as crews on any major railway in America.

So come ride with us, and know that the safety of our passengers and crew is our paramount concern. That's why you'll see our crew teams wearing shirts with "Safety First" on them.
