Transit Museums, North America
Western Railway Museum
This museum is located
nearly half way between the Bay Area and Sacramento. It is primarily a
traction museum complete with a long electrified line along the original
Sacramento Northern interurban right-of-way. When in San Francisco, take
the drive to Rio Vista!
The photos below are a mere
sampling of the cars in their collection. Please enjoy!
