The Museum of Science and Industry Is Selling Its 181-Year-Old Train

HYDE PARK — The Museum of Science and Industry is auctioning off five of its trains, including the first train to run the rails in the American South, as it revamps its transportation collection.

On Oct. 5, Bonhams auction house in San Francisco will auction off the museum’s second ever donation, a replica of a horse-drawn trolley, along with three trains from the early 1800s and a locomotive cab.
