The Railroad Museum of Oklahoma in Enid features one of the largest collections of railroad material in the United States. The museum is housed in an historic freight depot from the 1920s, which was donated by the Santa Fe Railroad Company and had been vacant for 25 years until restoration began in the late 1980s. It is a large space full of historical artifacts. A second building houses additional artifacts, a research library, and is home to the Cherokee Strip Model Railroad Association. The club has a large HO-scale layout and an N-scale layout. An American Flyer layout, owned by the museum, is also located in the building.

Exhibits inside the museum include over 1,000 pieces of dining car china and silver service from passenger trains of the past, maps depicting various railroad lines, railroad paintings, lanterns, depot clocks, locks, keys and a telegraph system with 47 components. Four mannequins dressed in different railroad employee uniforms are featured in a beautiful display case. A large O-scale layout featuring the Campbell Brothers Circus and related circus items is a popular attraction for young and old alike. There are also steam and diesel engine bells, railroad memorabilia and passenger train step boxes from various Oklahoma railroads. The model railroad room includes HO and N-scale layouts activated by timer switches.

Nine authentic cabooses are on display from various railroads that served Enid, along with motor cars, five different kinds of box cars, twelve different standard gauge freight cars, a three dome tank car, a Frisco 4-8-2 #1519 steam locomotive, a former AMTRAK lounge car that is now used as a dining car, and a 50 ton G.E. switch engine used to move rolling stock on the museum tracks. Two types of flatcars round out the museum's collection of vintage freight cars.
