Texas Transportation Museum, Transport museum in San Antonio, US.

The Texas Transportation Museum occupies a site on Wetmore Road beside McAllister Park and operates the Longhorn and Western Railroad, a 5/8-mile standard-gauge line with a 1/3-mile mainline. Its collection includes the 1925 Baldwin 0-4-0T steam locomotive from the Comal Power Plant, a 1911 Baldwin 2-8-0, a 1954 Baldwin diesel switcher, Pullman cars, antique automobiles, fire apparatus, tractors, and model railroad layouts in several scales.

The museum was founded in 1964 and first operated from a site at a brewery in downtown San Antonio. It later moved to its current location, where it grew its collection and began running its own train service on the grounds.

The collection reflects how Texas grew around its railroads and roads, and many of the vehicles on display were actually used in the region. Seeing a fire truck or a military vehicle up close gives a sense of how communities once depended on these machines.

The grounds are large and mostly explored on foot, so comfortable shoes are a good idea. Visitors who want to ride the train should plan their visit for a weekend, since that is when the train operates.

The museum's Longhorn and Western Railroad is standard gauge but connects to no general rail system, running about 5/8 mile of track with a 1/3-mile mainline between the property's east and west ends. Among the operable locomotives is a 1925 Baldwin 0-4-0T that once worked at the Comal Power Plant, the same locomotive that sparked the museum's founding.
