While we will have interactive areas, we want to protect the artifacts that
will be on the railbed and ensure that visitors don't touch the cars.  (We
will also have other, large pieces of mining equipment that will need to be
protected, and we've been throwing ideas around concerning using hand rails,
Plexiglass, or some other kind of barrier altogether, so we'd love to hear
ideas about that as well if anyone has suggestions.)

Thanks!

I am assuming that this will be a "Look but do not touch" Museum? Please
advise?
Thanks
