When a house, car, bus, or train is not used long enough, then an aura of mystery begins to appear around it along with the dust. It seems that a ticket collector in a shabby old frock coat and visibly ghostly features will jump out from behind that chair on the right and ask for a ticket...
Yes, at the Southeastern Railway Museum in Atlanta you can find out many interesting historical and practical facts as well as tickle your nerves.
As the theater begins with a coat rack, so the city of Atlanta begins with the railway. This is true: removing kilometers of rail from Atlanta is the same as removing the Eiffel Tower from Paris. In 1837, the station appeared there thanks to the Western and Atlantic Railroad. A few years later, it became a large city of Atlanta.
Besides, the feeling of something magical, adventure appears at the station. By the way, most of the trains are running and can move if necessary.
The military on the road ate nuggets for lunch ... They are on the menu of the military carriage of the restaurant. If you prefer more refined food, go to a civilian restaurant car and see what passengers ate in the 19th-20th centuries. You can sit at the tables or go to the kitchen. Wonder how the cooks managed to cook in such a small room!
The collection contains more than eighty exhibits. All of them are in excellent condition. The fact that this is a train from the past is indicated only by a layer of dust and out-of-use colors and materials. The museum’s collection includes electric trains, military compartment cars with narrow aisles for half a person and passenger compartments. By the way, the latter looks like a mini-copy of SV-cars. The compartments in them are only for one person and they are closed from outsiders by a massive door.
