This National Historic Landmark site is the oldest and largest existing nineteenth-century railroad operations complex in the nation. Construction began in 1850. Thirteen of the original structures remain today. The Central Railroad handled freight, passengers, maintenance, and manufacturing at this single location. Now the State Museum of Railroad History, the complex is owned by the City of Savannah and has been operated since 1989 by the Coastal Heritage Society. Five of the buildings house permanent exhibits, including the roundhouse with its operating turntable. Visitors can see steam and diesel locomotives, rail cars, steam-powered machinery, model railroads, and a 126-foot brick smokestack with privies around its base.

    "We had some choices as to what we should do, and we thought 'Let's go try and build a crowd in the South, and on the east coast, like we've done out here in the West. And if we do that, we'll have the whole United States covered.'"

    "The magic spot happens, I think, when it becomes really primal. And with this mixture of songs, with these players, it's bringing out emotions that are primal. And guttural."
