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!
