Western Railway Museum, Railway museum in Solano County, California, US.

The Western Railway Museum is a museum of interurban and streetcar equipment on Highway 12 between Rio Vista and Suisun, built along the former Sacramento Northern Railway mainline. Its single-storey building has beige stucco walls, a low-pitched red standing-seam metal roof and four round-arched windows flanking a glazed entrance. The collection holds about 100 pieces of railroad equipment, mainly electric lines of the West.

The institution started in the 1960s as the California Railway Museum and adopted its current name in 1985 to distinguish itself from a state museum. A turning point came in 1994 when the museum acquired a significant rail line, making authentic historic operations possible.

The museum keeps the last 5-cent fare car in California, Sacramento Northern 62, a Birney streetcar built in 1920 that ran local service in Chico until 1947. Its quarterly newsletter, the Review, has documented the association's activities since its early years.

Visitors can come on weekends and choose between shorter streetcar rides and longer interurban journeys that run on the historic tracks. It helps to wear comfortable shoes and allow time for exploring the vehicles on site.

The museum operates authentic journeys on genuine original rails that were part of a discontinued long-distance line rather than on reproductions or purpose-built museum tracks. This feature lets visitors experience the ride as passengers did decades ago.
