One of the best Railway Museums in North America is in Sacramento California It is located downtown as part of the "Old Sacramento" tourist area. It is an excellent addition to the four blocks of western style buildings next door. It is easy to find and has lots of parking across the street. This museum needs about 3 hours to do it justice. There are movies, static displays, models, and scale layouts on the second floor as well as a full size narrow gauge train. The most exciting part of the museum are the many full size scenes . You become part of steam engine maintenance team during WWII. you are beside a 4-4-0 as it enters a freshly finished tunnel for the first time . One of my favourites was the 1930's CNR sleeper car mounted on hydraulics so it simulated going down the track as you toured this car..
