| The Historic Railroad Shops
complex located in
Savannah, Georgia, is among the finest remaining examples of Victorian railroad
architecture and design and is the most intact antebellum railroad repair complex in the
country. It was designated a National Historic Landmark by the National Park Service. The
complex has been maintained as a railroad and industrial heritage museum by the Coastal
Heritage Society with the assistance of the City of Savannah. On site displays include
antique shaft driven machinery, locomotives and railroad stock, model train layouts, the
oldest portable steam engine in the United States and an operating turntable. The
Historic Railroad Shops has proven to be a valuable educational experience for local
public school students as well as a popular local tourist attraction. |
