A Visit To The Plano Texas Electric Interurban Museum

Recently my dad and I visited the Plano interurban museum.  This is a nice museum that showcases the Texas Electric interurban as it relates to the town of Plano Texas.  The museum is housed in the original Plano interurban depot and electrical substation.  Inside the museum there are numerous exhibits showing the electric interuban history of Plano and the surrounding area.  Also there are exhibits explaining the electrical technology used in the electric interurbans and street railways.  Dad and I enjoyed a nice January afternoon taking in the exhibits.  Outside the building and situated on the original right of way of the Texas Electric is Interurban Railway Post Office car number 360.  One of the museum docents showed us around the museum and also inside the Interurban RPO car.  If you are interested in Texas electric railway history or just rail history in general I would highly recommend a visit  to this museum.
