The Gold Coast Railway Museum celebrates the history and innovation of rail travel with a marvellous collection of trains and memorabilia. Located in Miami on the former site of Naval Air Station Richmond, the country's second-largest World War II air base, the museum has continued to delight train enthusiasts since its founding in 1957.

The museum strives to preserve and promote the rich history of rail travel and has much to offer. Not only can visitors hop in and out of historic rail cars, but they can also play with scale models and explore interesting artefacts, amongst other activities.

Gold Coast Railway Museum highlights

The main highlight of the Gold Coast Railway Museum is the train shed with 12 historic rail cars. Most of the cars are open to the public to go inside, peek at the interiors, and take photos. The crown train here is the custom-built Presidential Pullman Car “Ferdinand Magellan US Car #1," used by Presidents Roosevelt, Truman, Eisenhower, and Reagan.

Other notables at the museum include the 1920s Florida East Coast Railway Passenger Coach #136 and the US Army Hospital Car #89436 from World War II. You'll also see the Western Pacific “California Zephyr” and the red Atlantic Coast Line Railway Caboose #0322 goods train.
