Museum dedicated to all that is "interurban," i.e., retired trolleys, passenger cars and other remnants of our railway system.
Reviewed By interceptpubs - Columbus, United States
We've visited many railroad museums over the years, but this is the first one that specialized in electric railroads, focusing in particular on streetcars and interurbans (although not exclusively, they also have freight and passenger cars, a handful of small Diesel locomotives, and a steam engine or two). Their goal is not simply preserving their collection, but actually getting them back in operational condition. Indeed, they have 22 miles of overhead electrified track and daily run both streetcars and interurbans so visitors can experience, not just look at, their museum pieces. The first stop is the visitor center to pay the $10 admission fee (for adults). There also are some displays covering the history and technology of electric railroads, and a gift shop/bookstore. In the same building, but with separate entrances are a small snack bar and restrooms. Behind the visitor center are two large train sheds housing the bulk of the museum's collection of rolling stock. While there are some information placards for the equipment on display, the best way to learn about them is take a tour with one of the docents. They give a running commentary on each piece of equipment including its technical details, the history of the railroad that operated it, and even its individual history including the restoration work performed on it since joining the museum. Periodically during the day, 15 minute rides on one of the museum's streetcars and 50 minute rides on one of the interurbans are offered - these are included in the price of admission. We spent about an hour and half here (unfortunately, our limited time prevented us from riding either the streetcar or interurban, so this is just time looking at the displays and listening to the docents) and learned a lot about this relatively obscure aspect of railroad history. We even left with a couple books on interurbans and streetcars from the gift shop. We really enjoyed our time here and definitely thought it was worth the drive up from the Bay Area. The museum is open year round on Saturdays and Sundays with additional open days during summer.

This is the most peaceful place to walk through on the different pathways running along the Marina! And if you take a seat on the many benches early in the morning, or even at night when the ambient lights glow on the water, you can enjoy a totally unobstructed view of the waterfront. There... the boats and yachts are yearning to go out into the Marina! You will find it hard to leave such a spectacular view!
