Description

The Gold Coast Railroad Museum is a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving, exhibiting, and operating historic railroad equipment. Train rides are available on the weekends (Cab Rides, Coach Rides, and Narrow Gauge; not included with the Go Miami Card). An amazing model train exhibit includes various scales and has numerous Thomas the Tank Engine tables for the kids to enjoy interactive play. The Museum was formed in 1957 by a group of Miamians who were trying to save pieces of Florida history that were taken for granted and rapidly disappearing. Some of the earliest pieces in the collection are the “Ferdinand Magellan,” the private railroad car built for President Franklin Roosevelt; the Florida East Coast Railway locomotive #153, the engine that pulled the rescue train out of Marathon, Florida, after the 1935 hurricane; and the #113, an FEC locomotive built in 1913 and used in regular revenue service over the entire Florida East Coast railroad.
