California State Railroad Museum: Walkthrough ~ Steam Locomotives & Model Train Exhibits (Pt. 2)

I pick up right where The Guided Tour ended.
Railfans, get ready to immerse yourself in the golden age of railroading at the California State Railroad Museum! 🚂 Stand face-to-face with the legendary *Commissioners’ Car No. 1*, a witness to the historic Transcontinental Railroad ceremony in 1869. Marvel at the sheer power of Southern Pacific No. 4294, the last surviving Cab Forward locomotive—a true giant of the rails—and Union Pacific No. 4466, a hardworking steam engine that once ruled the freight lines. Dive into the stunning Thomas W. Sefton Gallery, home to over 3,300 square feet of beautifully preserved model trains, including Lionel, Märklin, and Buddy L treasures. This museum is a railfan’s paradise, packed with history, engineering marvels, and incredible stories!
