Gold Coast Railroad Museum

TIME : 2016/2/18 11:42:19

Primarily of interest to train buffs, this museum displays more than 30 antique railway cars, including the Ferdinand Magellan presidential car, where President Harry Truman famously brandished a newspaper with the erroneous headline ‘Dewey Defeats Truman.’ On weekends the museum offers 20-minute rides on old cabooses ($6), standard gauge cabs ($12) and, for kids, on a small ‘link’ train ($2.50). It’s advised you call ahead to make an appointment to ride.
