North Dakota Legislature
54-02-14. State railroad museum.
The Mandan railroad museum, established in 1972 in Mandan, is hereby designated the North Dakota state railroad museum. No state agency or institution may provide appropriated funds to the state railroad museum nor is the state responsible for any obligations of the museum.

 

The Railroad Museum has a unique display of HO model 'hopper cars' from the collection of Dr. Kenneth J. Johnson of Bismarck, ND. The Railroad Museum has a special collection of 'Timetables' from every railroad in the United States. The Railroad Museum has an extensive collection of photographs from the camera of Ron V. Nixon, a longtime Northern Pacific dispatcher. Artifacts, both large and small, fill all corners of the Railroad Museum. They reflect the uniqueness of items especially designed and made for the operations of the railroads. For some romance of old-time railroading, or to look at old rolling stock, or assorted railroad memorabilia, consider a stop at the North Dakota State Railroad Museum in Mandan.
