Lonely Planet review for Gold Coast Railroad Museum

Primarily of interest to serious train buffs (but also fun for kids), this museum was set up in the 1950s by the Miami Railroad Historical Society. It displays more than 30 antique railway cars, including the Ferdinand Magellan presidential car, where President Harry Truman famously brandished a newspaper with the famously erroneous headline ‘Dewey Defeats Truman.’ The car was also used by US presidents Roosevelt, Eisenhower and Ronald Reagan (for whom it was outfitted with 3in-thick glass windows and armor plating).
