Story

Welcome to the official Facebook page for the Southeastern Narrow Gauge and Shortline Museum! We are located in Newton, NC at the former junction of the Southern and Carolina & North-Western Railway. Our museum is operated by the Newton Depot Authority and the Alexander Chapter of the National Railway Historical Society, and currently uses the Newton Depot, a Welcome Center next door (at 1111 N. Main Ave.) and a Pavilion across the railroad tracks from the Depot. We have a wide spectrum of railroad-related displays; from locomotive headlights to an 1877 narrow gauge boxcar; from model layouts to the active Norfolk Southern railroad operation that runs through the middle of our campus!

This is a great and fast-growing museum with a friendly, welcoming staff. If you like real trains, the museum has the largest collection of historic narrow gauge equipment in the southeast, including one of the nation's oldest boxcars. If you like model trains, enjoy not 1 but FOUR layouts (O, HO, N). Throw in memorabilia displays, some stunning historic photographs, and a nice green, shaded picnic area, and you can see this museum unfolding before your eyes. Beware though, they will recruit you to volunteer, and the folks there are so friendly, you just might want to do it.
