North Alabama Railroad Museum

The North Alabama Railroad Museum preserves railroad equipment and locomotives from different eras at a historic site. The collection includes freight cars, passenger coaches, and several operational steam locomotives displayed along a former rail line section.

The museum was founded in 1984 when it took over a former rail line section and converted it into a public space. This segment was part of a larger rail network that connected the region for many decades.

The museum shows how trains shaped the region and how people once traveled by rail in this part of the country. Visitors can board vintage trains and see how important rail travel was to everyday life here.

The site is open for visits throughout the week, with volunteer staff present on specific days. Plan to spend a few hours exploring the vehicles and potentially taking a train ride if available.

The Chase Depot building on the grounds was once one of the smallest railway junctions in the country. This rare structure shows how rail connections were once organized at a smaller scale.
