Florida Rail Road Museum
The Florida Railroad Museum, Inc. was founded as The Florida Gulf Coast Railroad Museum with the stated goal of preserving Florida’s railroad history. Over the years, the Museum has aquired and restored rolling stock and equipment to operate for the public’s enjoyment. We hope our visitors appreciate the sights and sounds of Florida railroading as it existed in the 1940s and 1950s.
Steamtown National Historic Site
Several years ago had the opportunity to visit Steamtown located in Scranton Pennsylvania. It is a railroad Museum and heritage railroad at the site of the former Scranton yards of the Delaware, Lackawanna and western Railroad (DL&W). The museum is built around a working turntable and a roundhouse that are largely replications of the original DL&W facilities; the roundhouse, for example, was reconstructed from remnants of a 1932 structure. The site also features several working steam engines and exhibits.
