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.
The Wheel
The funny thing about wheels is that we are used to seeing them in use all around us but they are a manmade thing. There aren’t any wheels in nature and the only ones in the animal world that create and use them are human beings. Before the invention of the wheel people had to pull or push things along the ground.

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.
