About the Museum

The Southeastern Railway Museum occupies a 34-acre site in Duluth, Georgia, in northeast suburban Atlanta. In operation since 1970, SRM features about 90 items of rolling stock including historic Pullman cars and classic steam locomotives.

During the spring, summer, and fall, the museum is open Thursday, Friday and Saturday. During the winter, we're open on Saturdays. For more details, please see our Events Calendar. Ride in restored cabooses behind steam or diesel locomotives, 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.

August 8, 2008 marked a milestone date in the history of the Southeastern Railway Museum. After many months of organizing, the former Southern Railway System depot that previously was used in downtown Duluth, was relocated to the museum property.

The museum is located just south of downtown Duluth, Georgia on Buford Highway (U.S. Highway 23).

The Southeastern Railway Museum makes a great place for Meetings, Birthday Parties, Wedding rehearsal dinners & receptions and other special events. Call us today or visit us on-line at www.srmduluth.org
