Artifact Overview
The Henry Ford's Weiser Railroad opened to the public in 1972. Its two-mile route took riders on a scenic loop around Greenfield Village. Authentic steam locomotives, maintained and operated by museum staff, pulled the open passenger cars. More than a simple excursion, the railroad's intermediate stations made it a practical transportation link around the village.
