South Florida Railway Museum, Railroad heritage museum in Deerfield Beach, Florida.
The South Florida Railway Museum is housed in a 1926 building with Mediterranean Revival style, featuring arched entryways, covered arcades, and a barrel tile roof. The former train station now operates as a museum with exhibits about rail history in the region.
The station was built in 1926 by the Seaboard Air Line Railway as a key hub for regional rail operations. The building was later added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.
The museum displays locomotives and railway equipment that tell the story of how train travel shaped South Florida over time. Visitors see actual vintage machines and tools that were used in everyday operations.
The museum is located on the western side of Deerfield Beach along Hillsboro Boulevard and offers parking for visitors. When you visit, walking through the platforms and outdoor areas gives you a good overview of the full collection.
The building is still used by modern train services like Amtrak and Tri-Rail, blending its historical function with today's transportation needs. This dual role makes it an active transit hub rather than a frozen piece of history.
