Alabama - Foley Alabama Model Railroad Museum
Foley, AL - The City of Foley was fortunate to be the recipient of an "O" gauge model railroad layout. Mr. Alan Goldman of Montgomery, Alabama donated his model railroad to the City in 2004. In giving it to the City, Mr. Goldman asked that the exhibit be available for children and that there be no entrance fee.
The exhibit is 24' X 60' and has a quarter mile of track. This layout represents the 1950's era, when the rail lines were in the transition of being run by steam to running on diesel fuel.
