California State Railroad Musuem

On Saturday 24Apr10, decided to keep exploring my new habitat in Sacramento, CA by traveling with my friend Jack to the California State Railroad Museum. Lots of nice railroad artifacts from large working trains to toy trains. Also took a 40minute ride on a train up the Sacramento River while in Old Town.
The museum was full of trains both full size and toy form. The most impressive was a hugh front cab train weighing over 1million pounds and just plain enormous.
There were Pullman sleeping trains, dinner cars, mail cars, toy trains and an area where kids can play with wooden "Thomas the Engine" train set.
Learned much about this once main and wonderful method of transportation.

Great day.
