South Coast Railroad Museum, Railroad museum in Goleta, United States
The South Coast Railroad Museum occupies a restored two-story wooden train station building with Colonial Yellow paint and brown trim at Lake Los Carneros County Park.
The Goleta Depot, constructed in 1901 by Southern Pacific Railroad Company, operated as a combined freight and passenger station until its closure in October 1973.
The museum maintains a collection of railroad artifacts, photographs, and documents that illustrate the development of rail transportation in Santa Barbara County.
Visitors can take miniature train rides on the Goleta Short Line, explore a Southern Pacific caboose, and observe model train sets depicting Goleta and Santa Barbara.
The station agent lived in the second-floor apartment of the depot, managing passenger services, freight operations, and communications for the local community.
