國家交通博物館 （英語：The National Museum of Transportation） is a private, 42-acre 交通博物館 in the Kirkwood suburb of St. Louis, Missouri. Founded in 1944,^[1] it restores, preserves, and displays a wide variety of vehicles spanning 15 decades of American history: cars, boats, aircraft, and in particular, locomotives and railroad equipment from around the United States. The museum is also home to a research library of transportation-related memorabilia and documents.

At the southwest corner of the property is West Barretts Tunnel. Built in 1853, it is one of a pair of tunnels that were the first to operate west of the Mississippi River.^[2] It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.

The museum has its own railway spur to an active main line formerly owned by the Missouri Pacific Railroad, now by the Union Pacific Railroad. This has allowed the museum to take possession of large and unusual pieces of railroad equipment. A miniature railroad operates around a loop of track near the parking lot and a full-sized restored trolley operates Thursday–Sunday from April through October.

電車環線

尼爾·F·諾卡提斯示範有軌電車線路（英語：The Neil F. Norkaitis Demonstration Trolley Line）最初於20世紀90年代建立。在博物館從舊金山城市鐵路（San Francisco Municipal Railway）獲得 SLPS #1743 之後，一支志願者團隊在阿博特大樓（Abbott Building）附近的原聯合太平洋鐵路（Union Pacific）軌道上方架設了約 1,000 英尺的接觸網，使得修復後的歷史有軌電車能夠投入運行。1998 年，博物館有軌電車志願者組織（MTTV）對 PTC #2740 進行了全面修復，並將其納入運營車隊，而 #1743 則被封存。

1997 年，MTTV 開始翻新 Water Works #10。儘管最初僅計劃進行外觀修復，但由於該車在擱置數十年後仍保持了較為完好的狀態，團隊最終決定對 #10 進行全面的運營級修復。經過三年半的工作，#10 再度投入使用。2001 年的陣亡將士紀念日（Memorial Day）期間，#10 在停駛 46 年後首次投入運行，並於 2002 年夏季正式加入 MTTV 的運營車隊。

該示範有軌電車線路起初為單一路段，所有車輛只能往返行駛。隨後，MTTV 從波士頓一條有軌電車環線處獲取了部分軌道材料，決定在線路東端增設一個環線。施工於 2002 年春啟動，並於 2003 年 3 月完工。自此，除 #2740 之外的所有車輛均可在環線上循環行駛，並原路返回。與此同時，志願者在羅伯茨館（Roberts Pavilion）前修建了一座高站台，以便新加入的芝加哥捷運（CTA）快速軌道交通車輛 #44 上下乘客。

2011 年，MTTV 着手推進軌道延伸項目，旨在將線路延伸至 Lindburg 汽車中心。截至 2025 年，該延伸段仍在建設中；工程完工後，遊客可乘坐有軌電車往返於羅伯茨大樓與汽車大樓之間。2016 年 5 月 21 日，為紀念聖路易斯（St. Louis）有軌電車運營終止 50 周年，長期封存的 SLPS #1743 再次恢復運行。2024 年，為紀念前有軌電車運營總監，該線路被正式命名為尼爾·F·諾卡提斯示範有軌電車線路。
