Streetcars, Interurbans, and Steeple Cabs: Traction Action At The Western Railway Museum

Located along California State Highway 12, in the Sacramento River Delta Region, in rural Solano County, is the Bay Area Electric Railroad Association's Western Railway Museum. Originally founded in 1946, as a charter group on electric railways of the west, the organization collected more and more streetcars, interurbans, steam, and diesel locomotives, and in 1960, it was decided to build a museum at Rio Vista Junction, on the old Sacramento Northern mainline just outside of Suisun City. The organization now owns 22 miles of original track and right-of-way, and a large collection of equipment. Enjoy this look at action under the wire at the Western Railway Museum! Video in the presentation were recorded from 2013 to 2017. Enjoy!
