ALL ABOARD!

Welcome to the official website of THE OLD HICKORY RAILROAD!
NOTE THAT THE TRAIN IS LONGER IN OPERATION.
The Old Hickory Railroad was a live steam locomotive pulling two open coaches on a 6.2 mile journey back in time through the historic town of Jackson, LA. The ride commemorated the Clinton and Port Hudson Railroad, established in 1833, including a spur into Jackson.  The Old Hickory Railroad stood as a proud reminder of a time when railroads help connect our country and transport us from one side of the continent to the other!  For years, parents, children and railfans came to Jackson to ride THE OLD HICKORY and relive this special time in America's history.

While the Old Hickory is no longer in operation, trains continue to run at the facilities through the many model train layouts run by the Greater Baton Rouge Model Railroaders
