The Southern Appalachia Railway Museum (SARM) is a non-profit organization located in Knoxville, Tennessee, dedicated to the preservation, restoration, and operation of historical railroad equipment, and the preservation of the railroad history of the Southern Appalachia Region. The club sponsors the operation of the Secret City Scenic excursion train in Oak Ridge, Tennessee.
Museum members volunteer their time to restore, maintain, and operate our equipment. Our members are of all ages and all walks of life. They include teachers, firemen, computer programmers, mechanics, writers, professors, students, lawyers, and retirees. Most of our members live in the east Tennessee area, but some come from as far as Atlanta to attend museum activities. If you are interested in participating or supporting our efforts, museum memberships are available. Yearly dues are $30 for individuals and $40 for families the first year, and $20/30 every year thereafter. Lifetime memberships are $300 for individuals and $400 for families. Corporate memberships are also available. If you have ever wanted to be a train conductor, brakeman, or engineer, here is your chance! The museum provides training (in accordance with state and federal regulations) for these positions.
Museum activities include a monthly membership meeting, an annual picnic, an annual slide show, group dinners, work sessions, and operating the Secret City Scenic excursion train. We publish a monthly newsletter, The Blue Flag, which contains the latest museum news, meeting notices, photographs, railroad news, and articles on local railroad history. The Museum is an active member of the Alliance of Tennessee Railroad Museums, the Railroad Passenger Car Alliance, the Oak Ridge Chamber of Commerce, and the Roane County Chamber of Commerce.
