Heart of Dixie Railroad Museum- Calera, AL


Chelsea High School students got to board a vintage 1940 train for a beautiful autumn ride through the scenic forests of Shelby County. They then assisted at the Pumpkin Patch, working with children as they took hayrides, bounced in the inflatable bounce house, get lost in the hay maze, and participated in other family activities! 

The Heart of Dixie Railroad Museum’s  collection contains pieces spanning the time period from as early as 1890 and as late as 2005. The collection contains ordinary pieces such as cabooses and flatcars along with unique pieces such as club cars, passenger coaches, a diner and a rare domed observation car.
