About the Business
The Southeastern Railway Museum is located at 3595 Buford Highway in Duluth, Georgia, United States. As Georgia's Official Transportation History Museum, we boast the largest collection of "rolling stock" in the state. Visitors can explore our real, life-size trains, cars, and buses that have played a significant role in history, along with a vast collection of railroad memorabilia.
While we are open for train rides on Thursdays, Fridays, and Sundays, we will be open on Saturday, January 20th with discounted admission prices of $15.00 for adults, $12.00 for seniors, and $8.00 for young railroad fans. Please note that train operations may be canceled on Saturday due to expected cold weather, but there is still plenty to see and the winter light can be quite lovely. Make sure to dress warmly as the museum can be cool.
Join us for National Train Day, an annual celebration in the United States to honor the history and significance of rail transportation. This day is typically observed on the second Saturday of May.
Regular admission includes one train ride, but please be aware that train rides are subject to availability, weather conditions, volunteer staffing, and antique equipment maintenance schedules. Come and visit us at the Southeastern Railway Museum for a unique and educational experience in transportation history.

Reviews
"I really enjoyed my time here. It was my first time and I spent around 3 hours. It’s mostly self guided but the staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. You can explore much of what’s inside the 2 buildings and walk around the cars outside. Lots of artifacts and lots to look at and take in. The train is ride is nice, short but that’s just due to the track layout there. I certainly recommend if you like RR artifacts"
"Great! I am not especially interested in trains and buses but when you're right there standing in em it's about the coolest. A lot more to look at than you might expect. Went with some friends and their kid and he loved it too. Even some interactive stuff."
"Fabulous little museum for all things public transportation - not just trains. You can take a ride on a full size train or a miniature one, but check their schedule. Being non-profit means they aren't open everyday. They have a fun model train exhibit and a small gift shop with a great variety of train themed items. It's a fun place for anyone to explore transportation from the past. Photographers will enjoy their open policy for shoots (check their website for limitations). Their annual festival of trees was a delight to experience."
"Amazing would've been better if if was day but the south is the south. Anyway I went here for an early birthday gift and had a wonderful time here, they had many steam engines (and tractors) and diesels and cars for display (They even have General ll that worked in Stone mountain I think) and a nice little railway display. Such a shame some of the rail cars were rusted. But there is one thing that may be a bit uncomfortable for some people as they do have a bus from the time where segregation was normal where the bus has engravings "White passengers seat from the front colored from rear" and "For white patrons only" and some history with Rosa Parks and other people. Hopes this helps :)"
"Amazing train museum with a huge variety of history and memorabilia. They have an amazing display of Christmas trees until January. They were worth seeing. Every penny spent goes into keeping the museum open. All of the ‘employees’ are volunteers and do this because they love trains and want to keep this going. If you love trains and live nearby, they would love for you to volunteer."
