Is there any kind of train museum on LI?
DS loves trains and I was wondering if we had anything like that around here.

There is the Long Island Steamers in Yaphank. It's not a museum, but your son could ride on the train around the park.
There is also the Wrong Island Railroad, I think it's in Ronkonkoma. They have mini electric trains set up.

I forgot about the place in Yaphank. I remember going there when I was younger.

There's a very small one on Wantagh Ave that's open Sundays 2-4 in the summer. It's got an old train car to walk through and the old station that has some exhibits.
