The Gold Coast Railroad Museum is dedicated to exploring and preserving the history of the railroad industry and promoting historical trains and railroads.

Located next to the Miami Zoo, the museum was built in 1956 on the former Naval Air Station Richmond (NASR), which boasted three miles of tracks and is one of three Official State Railroad Museums in Florida today.

The museum houses several interactive displays, exhibits, movies, and artifacts, and over 30 historic trains including the Florida East Coast ‘113’ engine and the Western Pacific ‘Silver Crescent.’

Visitors to the museum can take a journey back in time with rides on vintage trains, standard gauge railway cars, and in the cab of the train's locomotive.
