Free American Southern Steam Train Experience

Transportation plays a decisive role in the development of cities. The logic is simple: the more important a city is in the transportation system, it means there are more business opportunities and more employment opportunities, so more and more people gather here. This was the case in the small southern town of Savannah from the 19th century to the early 20th century. Georgia, where Savannah is located, is rich in cotton. The purpose of digging rivers and building railroads was to transport cotton to the port of Savannah and then sell it to the world. To this day, the Port of Savannah is still one of the four major ports in the United States. But trains and their related industries declined. The railroad museum in Savannah is actually the Georgia State Railroad Museum, which is considered a provincial museum. If you are interested in train history, this is indeed a good place to go. For ordinary tourists, the most attractive item of this museum is the daily train ride. The ride is free. The locomotive was pulling a carriage, and a gentleman was explaining it. The small but beautiful lawn is reminiscent of a Swiss train. #外游
