California State Railroad Museum

California State Railroad Museum in Old Sacramento. Climb aboard giant steam locomotives.

Walk among huge restored steam locomotives and passenger cars, then climb aboard a few, including a sleeping car that rocks and clatters like it's rolling through the night. Each pick the train you'd want to ride across the country and plan the trip out loud. The photo to get: you in front of the biggest engine in the hall. Then walk the wooden sidewalks of Old Sacramento for saltwater taffy.
