Welcome! Our challenge is to provide the public with the history of railroading and how it affected the population growth and industry boom from the 1940's to the 1960's in the South Florida area. We are planning to teach through the use of railroad artifacts and through the design and the building of a model railroad display depicting the area during that time frame.

The organization has been in existence since we moved into the station ten years ago. For some years after the inception we plodded along without direction or purpose and without the realization of what could be accomplished. The last few years have been a turnaround period for us and under new leadership we are on our way to realizing the potential of the organization. The emphasis has changed from the organization being used as a personal stepping-stone to understanding the definitions of “Teamwork”, “Unity” and “Organization”. Partnered with the Deerfield Beach Historical Society and with their members on our board of directors the direction of the museum is much more focused.

Our desire is to chronicle the history of South Florida as related to the Railroads that brought commerce and development to the area and to educate the general population. We are also qualified to instruct the "Operation Lifesaver" program, to make our rail crossing safer.

Located in the historic former Seaboard Air Line station building in Deerfield Beach, it is our goal to preserve the history of railroads in southern Florida, and educate the public about the importance of railroads in the region past and present. There is also an active model railroad contingent within the organization, with a 16'x18' HO layout in operation, a 4'x30' permanent HOn3 layout display under construction, and a 4'x20' N scale layout. Our collection of historic artifacts is constantly growing, and donations are always welcome.

We are active in other areas as well, including presenting auctions and swap meets of model railroad equipment and railroadiana, and assisting in the sale of collections and estates.

Our Membership Requirements (membership page link) of the museum are minimal; you need not have any desire to participate in the construction or any other facet of the Museum, but you can always feel free to participate in what ever manner suits your needs.

The museum holds membership with the Deerfield Beach Historical Society, National Model Railroad Association and the ACL/SCL Historical Society.
