The California State Railroad Museum in Old Sacramento is a tribute to the role of the "iron horse" in connecting California to the rest of the nation. The museum features 21 restored locomotives (the Nevada Short Line is pictured) and railroad cars, some dating back to 1862. There is a full-scale diorama of an 1860s construction site high in the Sierra Nevada as well as a bridge elevated 24 feet (7 m) above the museum floor. A block from the museum is a reconstructed passenger station and freight depot circa 1867. During the summer, a steam train takes visitors from the depot to Miller Park and back along the Sacramento River using their tourist line, the Sacramento Southern Railroad. Visit their official website linked at the bottom of this page for additional information and more details on all their exhibits.
