Whether you want photos of family and friends or a perfect picture of a certain locomotive, Steamtown is a great place for photography.

Whether video or still, amateur or professional, Steamtown is a great place for photos. Photography is allowed in all areas at Steamtown, including the museums. 

Please keep these few things in mind when taking photographs or videos: 

  • When photographing in the railroad yard, keep in mind it is an active yard and any track may be used by a train at any time. 
  • Please do not climb on any locomotive, railroad car, or other structure for a better shot; it may not be stable.
  • Professional photographers (any image that will be used commercially) need a Special Use Permit prior to the shoot.
