Thank you sooooo much for a great video back in time. When I saw your thumbnail I thought I was look at the very old Chicago, Aurora and Elgin electric line I used to ride when I was a kid but surprised when I saw a great museum on the west coast, go figure, that your neck of the woods, LOL THANKS MUCH, Ron
I started giving tours in Car Barn Three the day we opened it. There are some great railroad and railway treasures in that barn. Ted Miles, WRM Archives Dept
Thanks John! Time to start planning another trip. Going to get to The Western Railway Museum, California State Railroad Museum, Market Street Railway, and Niles Canyon. Oh and Portola too!
There are many, many stories about Rio Vista. I volunteered there in the late 1970's(and did a lot of growing up there). I remember when Peninsular 52 and P&SR 63 were first put back into service. The Shay, many other things. Thx
there was a time years ago in the big towns they had trolley cars U could ride they was be 4 my time U didn't see none of them in the country towns / that was a different time and place back then that the 194OS 195O / there was some about a hr from where IM at and there was steam trains also they weren't close by either OMG 7 24 2O24
What I really loved was all the period advertisement in the trains 100 year old ads are great 👍
Absolutely love the fact you can see the gigantic plume of smoke in the distance of the intro shot. Ah sweet home california
I just took my 4 year old son here today. It was a great time. We really appreciate the fact that such a museum exists. Highly advised.
My late friends Richard and James Holmes of San Jose spent years restoring the Peninsular 52.
Awesome video and a great piece of history.
Hi again. Nice video as always. Wish we had connected better at Carson. Anyway hi again!

This has expanded since I was last there. BART legacy I think is going to be challenging.
