The Roundhouse Railroad
Museum of Savannah Georgia
The
Coastal Heritage Society is doing an outstanding job in restoring this
complex. They plan to restore all the buildings and reuse them as museums
to railroading, history, the arts and sciences. A train is planned to
run from the Roundhouse to the nearby visitor center, which is a
restored civil war era train shed and passenger station of which I will post photos of
in the future. I am told this is the largest existing original rail
complex of this kind in the nation, and a real historical treasure for
train fans, and everyone else. This is truly "The Steamtown Of The
South", and an attraction that people interested in railroading and
history will want to visit and support. The roundhouse is open daily
until 5 pm and admission is $4.00 each.
Another site of great interest,
belongs to the The Central of Georgia
Railway Historical Society. Lots of Central of Georgia
information, and the publisher of the quarterly magazine THE RIGHT WAY.
More to Come! I took over 500
photos during the 2 day period in which I visited the Roundhouse at
Savannah!
