All aboard! The section of railroad between Saluda and Melrose is known as the Saluda Grade. It is the steepest railway grade in the United States. The PCHA Museum has a large railroad display that includes items used in the construction and maintenance of tracks on the grade.
Artifacts will be on display at the Pace General Store during Saluda’s Railroad Day, Oct 22. In addition to these items, interesting railroad displays and artifacts can be enjoyed at the PCHA Museum at 60 Walker St., Columbus.
Museum hours are 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Tuesday and Thursday, and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday. Individual tours are also available.
