The Connecticut Eastern Railroad Museum is a railroad museum located on Route 32 in Willimantic, Connecticut.[1] It was founded by members of the Connecticut Eastern Chapter of the National Railway Historical Society.
The museum is home to a replica Columbia Roundhouse built in 2000.[2] It holds many exhibits, including the former train station for Chaplin, twelve diesel-electric trains, and four steam locomotives.[3] The Air Line Trail runs along the edge of the property, as did the Connecticut Eastern railroad for which the museum is named.[4] The roundhouse contains a 60-foot Armstrong turntable.[5]
