A fun discovery by the Huntsville Utilities!

It’s 2021! We look forward to seeing you on the train this coming year! Our 2021 schedule will be released soon! Happy New Year!

Don't miss your chance to take your sweetheart on a rail excursion to Ozan Winery & Distillery! Trains are selling out! Upon arrival at the vineyard, receive a trackside taste of Yella Whiskey, then enjoy a short walk up the gentle hill under the stars to lovely, rustic tasting rooms. Each guest will receive a souvenir wine glass and a pre-selected sampling of wines paired with an individual plate of sweets and treats.... This is a unique Valentine’s event that your sweetheart will remember! Note: The Sweethearts Special is for adults ages 21+ only.

Great to have Central Alabama Voice drop in to learn more about Christmas at the Station!

The volunteers and staff of the Heart of Dixie Railroad Museum wish everyone a very Merry Christmas! We look forward to seeing everyone next year!
