Sacramento Train Museum - Top 8 Attractions - California State Rail Museum

Railroading and the history of American Railroads come alive at the California State Rail Museum also know as Sacramento Train Museum. Located in historic Old Sacramento next to the Amtrak trains station, getting here can be an immersive railroad experience by taking the California Zephyr or Capital Corridor trains to get to the museum from the San Francisco Bay Area. The model railroading section of the museum is highlighted in this video but will be featured in my next video (two weeks from this publish date).
