About Us
"Railroads
transformed America with ribbons of steel, linking communities and moving people
and commodities from coast to coast. The Indiana Transportation Museum
preserves this legacy by immersing guests in moving experiences.
"It links destinations throughout central Indiana, offering unique cultural
encounters. ITM engages and inspires future generations through the
art, science and technological innovation of the railroad." This
is the mission statement of the Indiana Transportation Museum.
We operate a 38 miles line once known as the Indianapolis & Peru, and
eventually as the Nickel Plate Road. Read about the
line's History.
Location
Our Museum and restoration facilities are located in Noblesville, Indiana, only 20 miles north of downtown Indianapolis.
