Southeastern Railway Museum


Southeastern Railway Museum is located just north of Pleasant Hill Road on Buford Highway next to Parsons-Andrews Building Supply in Duluth, Georgia. Opened in 1970, the museum is situated on a 35-acre site and features around 90 items of historic and classic rolling stock. Visitors can come here between 10am and 5pm on any Saturday throughout the year as well as Thursdays and Fridays in spring, summer and fall.

Amongst the many exhibits here there are several diesel locomotives from the 1950s as well as steam locomotives, the oldest of which dates back to the 1870s. Visitors will also be able to see passenger cars, freight cars, cabooses and various pieces of maintenance equipment. There are opportunities for visitors to take rides on the restored cabooses behind the restored antique locomotives.

Guided tours and field trips can be booked in advance or visitors can wander around the museum on their own. Private parties and weddings can be held at the museum site and on one of two available railcars. A gift shop is located in the main exhibit building, where guests can purchase hats, t-shirts, books and other train related items between 10.30am and 4.45pm.
