Georgia State Railroad Museum is a family-friendly facility featuring historic steam and diesel locomotives as well as the loco-lab for children.
The Roundhouse was the Savannah repair shop for the Central of Georgia Railroad and is now the oldest and most complete antebellum railroad manufacturing and repair facility still in existence in the United States. Thirteen of the original structures, which were built beginning in 1855, are still standing. Included are a massive roundhouse and operating turntable (where the engines were turned around) and the 125-foot brick smokestack. Also, see a variety of rail cars, locomotives, and two of the oldest southern-made steam engines. Explore the amazing history of the former Central of Georgia Railway complex –the incredible people and engineering feats of the 150 years that it was Savannah's largest employer.
Tour inside two executive rail cars, take a train ride tour, and ride on a hand car. Call or check out our website for operating schedules and availability.
