Southeastern Railway Museum
Georgia's official transportation history museum spreads across a Duluth rail yard, and among its ninety-plus pieces of rolling stock rests the Pullman private car "Superb," built in 1911 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999. The car carried President Warren G. Harding on his 1923 "Voyage of Understanding," and after he collapsed and died in San Francisco that August, the Superb bore his flag-draped casket back east as millions lined the tracks.
Ghost-lore chroniclers say Harding never quite disembarked, describing his restless figure pacing the funeral car, while the nearby Washington Club car draws a dapper apparition in old-fashioned dress. Stories also drift to the Camp Creek train wreck, with sightings of a phantom train's lights and whistle trailing cold air across the grounds.
