The California State Railroad Museum tells the story of rail travel and railroad development through preserved equipment and exhibitions in Old Sacramento.
Large locomotives and rail cars give the visit a strong physical focus while interpretation connects the machines with the people and places they served.
Leave time to look at the equipment as well as read the historical displays. Excursion trains and special programs are separate experiences with their own schedules. Check current museum tickets, opening hours, and accessibility guidance before combining the visit with a wider walk through Old Sacramento.
