About Us
The Railroad Museum of South Florida, Inc., a Florida 501c(3) Not for Profit Corporation, operates an Interpretive Center housed in a Railroad Depot-style building in Lakes Regional Park in Fort Myers, Florida. The Outdoor exhibits include a cosmetically restored 1905 Atlantic Coastline Railroad 0-6-0 Baldwin Locomotive and Tender, and a cosmetically restored 1953 Seaboard Airline Railroad Caboose. In addition to the Interpretative Center it operates a one-mile miniature train ride which takes visitors on a 15 minute scenic tour, that winds through miniature villages, depicting local Southwest Florida communities, circa 1950. It travels through a 100-foot tunnel, over a trestle bridge and between lakes and wooded areas with views of local birds and wildlife. The Railroad Museum and Train Village make a great destination for a family outing!
