From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Bellingham Railway Museum was a nonprofit museum located in downtown Bellingham, Washington, USA, that displayed a pictorial and text history of railroad traffic in Bellingham and Whatcom/Skagit Counties, as well as a large electric model railroad, an exhibit of railroad lanterns, and a train simulator based on Microsoft Train Simulator software. A research library was also hosted.[1] It opened in 2003 and was volunteer operated until its permanent closure in June of 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic.[2][3][4]
