Help Save a BART Train
The Rapid Transit History Center is an exciting new project that will save a historic BART train. The RTHC will give guests the opportunity to learn about the history of the BART. Museum guests will learn about early concepts and challenges BART had when constructing a new transit system during the Space Age.
Donate Today
The Western Railway Museum needs your help during these uncertain times. Your donation to the Museum's General Fund helps us pay our utility bills, maintain our buildings and grounds, perform track and overhead lines maintenance, and continue car maintenance and restoration in our shop. Donating to the General Fund also helps us prepare the Museum for reopening by making our buildings and grounds safe for our visitors and volunteers. Would you please consider a donation to help keep the Museum moving?
Museum Closed Until Further Notice
Due to the governor’s address, we will be closed until further notice. In the meantime, we are working on making the museum safe for both our volunteers and guests.
When the museum does open up, you can expect:
- the museum adheres to California and Solano County guidelines for facility safety.
- enhanced cleaning and sanitation of our visitors center and operating rail cars.
- all staff will be wearing masks, for protection of the public and staff, including our valuable volunteers.
We hope to you back at the museum very soon!
