We feature an incredible & complete selection of Thomas & Friends™ merchandise - better than you'll find anywhere - and we ship everywhere! 1500 square feet of colorful fun - the largest store of its kind! Kids can try out the wooden railway on our in-store play tables, watch a video on our VCR, and help Mom & Dad browse the huge assortment of gift ideas featuring their favorite locomotive!

The Rail Road Store - the very name brings to mind "everything railroad!" We have been a part of the Strasburg Rail Road family since 1972 when we opened our doors as the Freight House Gift Shop.
