Great museum if you are a big time train fan. Richmond has a rich history of railway locomotives and railways. The guides are awesome, definitely worth the $10 entry fee. You can see how railway engines, instruments and communication devices developed over the last two centuries. They also have a few real engines. Definitely worth the time and effort, very unique.

The location, vibe are excellent. Very spacious, so even if it gets crowded it doesn't feel that tight. Great collection of beers and cocktails. You get great discounts during happy hours (weekdays 3-7 pm). Cocktails and classy beers get very cheap. However I didn't like the food that much. I ordered 3 starters (as in pics) and all of them were not up to the mark

You can do it either 2.5 mile (one way straight line) or 6.1 mile (rectangular loop). This trail is great for hiking. It goes through nature, beside rail lines, James river and some historic places. The only issue I found was a little bit annoying is there are a lot of bikers. During my 2.5hr hike, I had encountered bikers at least 12 times, and every time you gotta be extra careful to leave them space. Other than that, no complaints. I loved the variety of landscape it goes through.

Great place great architecture. You might need to walk a bit to find your desired train route so save some minutes, arrive early.
