The California Railway Museum at Rio Vista Junction, California will be
running the Western Pacific Steam Locomotive #94 (WP's first passenger
locomotive) over the Labor Day weekend. In addition to #94, many
electric streetcars and trains will be available for passenger service
on museum trackage.
The museum is located midway between Fairfield and Rio Vista on state
highway 12. From San Francisco, you can take interstate-80 to highway
12 at Fairfield.
Admission is $3.00 for adults, $2.00 for Seniors & ages 12-18, and $1.00
for ages 3-11. Children under 3 are free.
The California Railway Museum is run by the Bay Area Electric Railroad
Association, a non-profit volunteer organization. (This is not to be
confused with the California STATE Railroad Museum in Sacramento, which
is run by the state of California -- they are just a static museum. At
Rio Vista Junction, visitors actually ride on operating rail vehicles.)
