This museum is one of the best rail museum's we've ever visited with perhaps hundreds of rail cars on display. Geocordinates may vary as I believe they move the cars around frequently.

The Western Pacific Railroad Museum is located in Portola, California, off of Highway 70 in the northern Sierra Mountains. It's a little off the beaten track for most tourists (about 50 miles north of Reno), but the attractions are terrific. Over a hundred rail cars, engines, and cabooses can be found in the yard, many of which you can climb inside. For a fee you can even drive a diesel train! (Reservations required.) The Museum is open 7 days a week 10am - 5pm The first Saturday in April through the first Sunday in November. Admission was only 5$ for adults and $2 for children. For more information about the museum see the museum website.

Current Use:
Part of a museum display.


Type Of Caboose: Cupola, "Standard"
