Gold Coast Railroad Museum Miami Info

If you are a train enthusiast and happen to visit Miami then try to visit the Gold Coast Railroad Museum. This museum was built in 1957 and is home to many historical trains. A lot of Miami Fl hotels are near the vicinity of this museum so if you happen to stay in one of these hotels then reaching the museum is easy.

Sights to enjoy:

Ferdinand Magellan

No, not the explorer but the Railcar built for President Franklin Roosevelt. The exterior part of this historical piece can be viewed by visitors but the interior has been closed due to preservation concerns. This is the only railcar to be given the National Historic Landmark by the U.S. Government.

Coach Rides

Kids and even adults would surely love to ride on one of the coaches available in this museum. A single ride would last around 20 minutes.
