about Southeastern Railway Museum:

The Southeastern Railway Museum occupies a 30-acre site and houses about 90 items of rolling stock including historic Pullman cars and classic steam locomotives.

Visitors may take a 10-minute ride in restored cabooses behind steam or diesel locomotives and view the preservation shop, stand next to the massive driving wheels of the locomotive that once pulled passenger trains to Key West on the "railroad that went to sea," tour the business car that helped bring the Olympics to Atlanta, pose on the platform of the private car once used by President Warren G. Harding, and see just how green Southern Railway green can be as you walk the length of the diesel-electric locomotive that ran the point on the last Crescent before AMTRAK assumed control of the famous train.

Visitors should pick up an equipment list and map at the ticket office.

Birthday parties can be arranged on all days the museum is open except Sundays. Call the museum to reserve in advance. Parties include admission for 20 guests and use of the party car or pavilion for two (2) hours (including set-up and clean-up). Additional discounted tickets may be purchased at the time of reservation.
