The Railroaders Memorial Museum would like to thank Tina Byrne for her years of hard work and enthusiasm in welcoming visitors to the World Famous Horseshoe Curve! She will be missed as she embarks on a new professional venture. Miranda Harkins and Andrew Brumbaugh will be on hand to greet our guests for the remainder of the season. Executive Director Joseph DeFrancesco presented Tina with a special gift on her last day, one that we hope always reminds her of us!

Interacting with students and teachers on field trips has always brought us joy here at the Railroaders Memorial Museum. Even though some students will be learning virtually this year and won’t be taking as many field trips, we encourage students and their families to visit our World Famous Horseshoe Curve. The site is currently open Wednesday-Sunday 11AM-5PM. Just in case you get lost, Jackie from Washington-Jefferson Elementary School drew you a map. This 1999 thank you card was found in our archive. Thanks for the love, Jackie!
