I recognize and have been to some of these. Very impressive list overall.
The one thing I'd say surprises me, they include the SF cable car museum but not the NYC transit museum. Both are unique and niche in their own way, the cable car for its wholly mechanical implementation of modern rapid transit from a time before there was even electricity, the NYC transit museum for the fact that it is located in a disused subway station which is still directly connected to the system and the exhibit of historical train cars from the past 100+ years is a real, operational train that they sometimes take out on special excursion runs. For both museums there's something special about how these machines are being used the way they were meant to be used, with actual passengers riding them, in the process being kept alive as well as being preserved.
