Western Pacific Railroad Museum

The museum maintains a collection of twenty-nine diesel locomotives, one electric locomotive, one steam locomotive, and multiple passenger cars from the Western Pacific era.

Founded in 1984, the facility occupies a former Western Pacific locomotive complex adjacent to the Union Pacific mainline through the Feather River Canyon.

The museum preserves the legacy of the Western Pacific Railroad through its collection of equipment, photographs, documents, and operational maintenance practices.

Visitors can access the museum grounds throughout the year, with special programs and locomotive demonstrations scheduled during regular operating hours.

Through the Run A Locomotive program, participants receive instruction from qualified engineers to operate diesel locomotives on designated museum tracks.
