LANDRUM — A new railway museum housed in an 85-foot Pullman rail car near North Trade Avenue is scheduled to open in Landrum in northern Spartanburg County by end of summer 2023.

The museum created by a Syracuse doctor once featured 16 locomotives, 50 rail cars and employed as many as 25 people. What's left is 1873 railroad station that's more of a museum to a museum.

An historical society has tapped the 68-year-old Stirling resident to gather a vast, but scattered, collection of New Jersey’s nearly 200-year rail history into a statewide museum.
