The Southeastern Railway Museum is a popular transportation museum located in Duluth, Georgia, which is just 25 miles northeast of Atlanta. In 2000, it became the official transportation history museum for the state of Georgia, and features over 90 historic train cars and locomotives on a 35-acre site. Visitors are welcome to tour its informative exhibits, go for brief rides in restored trains, and pose for photos with historic artifacts such as a private train car that was used by U.S. President Warren G. Harding.
