Learn more about the Western Pacific Railroad Museum: The Western Pacific Railroad Museum is located less than an hour’s drive from Downtown Reno and Lake Tahoe in Portola, California. Located on California Highway 70 at the top of the scenic “Feather River Canyon”, regardless of where you’re coming from, the drive to Portola is always a scenic one, worth every bit of the trip itself.

Once you arrive in Portola, follow the signs around town to the Western Pacific Railroad Museum.

– From Highway 70, you will turn southeast and cross the Feather River on the Gulling Street bridge.

– Make the first right turn on Commercial Street, heart of downtown Portola.

-Follow the signs to Pacific Street, where you will make a gentle left turn, followed by a right turn on Western Pacific Way.

– As you pass the city’s “Equipment Yard”, you’ll pass through the front gate, and into the museum grounds, where over 100 pieces of historic railroad rolling stock awaits you and your family.

Don’t worry about the kids; there is a very good reason that if you look around you, seldom will you see a “no climbing” or “Please do not touch” sign. In fact, we encourage our visitors to climb aboard and experience our collection in a truly “Hands-on” way.
