Foley Railroad Museum
About This Museum
You might not expect to find one of the South's most impressive model railroads tucked away in a historic Alabama depot, but that's exactly what you get here. The Foley Railroad Museum brings the golden age of railroading to life, letting you watch a massive, intricate layout where tiny trains zip through miniature towns and forests at the push of a button. You can even step outside to climb aboard real, full-sized train cars, feeling the weathered metal and imagining the journeys they've taken. It’s a place where history feels immediate and wonderfully hands-on.
Collection Highlights
The star of the show is undoubtedly the sprawling, remote-controlled model railroad that fills an entire room. Outside, you can explore authentic rolling stock like a bright yellow Missouri Pacific caboose and a hefty L&N switch engine.
Visitor Information
Best of all? Admission is completely free, making it a perfect stop for families or anyone with a sudden urge to be surrounded by trains.
Architecture & Building
Housed in the original Foley train depot, it's a classic early-20th century wooden station with a wide porch and a distinctive bay window that once gave the station master a clear view down the tracks.
