The Railroad Historical Center

The Railroad Historical Center in Greenwood, South Carolina, houses the Upstate's largest static railroad display. Established in 1970, the museum invites visitors to step into the Golden Age of Railroad Travel through seven fully restored, climate-controlled railway cars, including a 1906-era steam locomotive, an interurban car, a coach, a diner-lounge car, a Pullman sleeper, a caboose, and a saloon car. Guided tours run on regular open days, and private tours can be arranged by appointment for groups outside the museum's public hours. The Center also hosts seasonal special events, including the North Pole Express, Christmas at the Train, and Family Fun at the Train, bringing holiday and family programming into its historic rail cars.
