Active railroad museum with a lot of stored equipment in various stages of restoration or decay. The "1880 Train" located on the same property is a separate entity and operates steam locomotive excursions during the tourist season.

Some very interesting old passenger cars, with well preserved exteriors. The interiors... Less well preserved. Also, Cabooses, ancient engines, and boarded up boxcars. The not entirely inaccessible boarded up cards are still in good condition inside as well. Oh. And uninspired graffiti.
The only operating 2-6-6-2T Mallet in the world is at the adjacent tourist railroad.

wooden boarding
It's out in the open, by the highway.

The actual history is unclear. The websites of both the tourist railroad and railroad museum make no mention of what former railroad they are actually on or when it was built. There is a time line section of the museum website contains mostly irrelevant information.

It was right next to the Thomas the Tank Engine day..... The music they were playing made me want to hurt myself, or little kids.

The property is operated as a railroad museum and tourist railroad.
