herald_nrhs The Southeastern Railway Museum is operated by the Atlanta Chapter, NRHS Inc., a nonprofit organization. The mission of the Southeastern Railway Museum is to provide an educational atmosphere that will vividly bring to life the cultural, technological and historical importance of transportation to our region.

Southeastern Railway Museum

srm_state egyptian he Southeastern Railway Museum is a located along the Norfolk Southern mainline in Duluth, Georgia, in northeast suburban Atlanta. The museum was founded in 1970 by the Atlanta Chapter of the National Railway Historical Society. The current 30-acre site contains over 90 pieces of rolling stock, most of which reflect Georgia and Deep South railroading history. In 2000 the organization was granted the title of Georgia's official transportation history museum. In addition to rolling stock the museum features a variety of railroad artifacts and an extensive archive. The grounds also contain the restored 1871 Duluth passenger train depot, a scale-riding train ride, and a model railroad display. Volunteers also staff a brief standard gauge train ride over switching trackage that runs the length of museum property, using cabooses and operating motive power. The passenger car collection features several cars that operated on the defunct New Georgia Railroad -- a mainline excursion program in the 1980s staffed by Atlanta NRHS volunteers, offering weekend 18 and 30 mile excursions from downtown Atlanta.
