San Francisco Railway Museum — Attraction in San Francisco

After riding the rail car for the first time I was hooked, needing some more information on the history of transit for the San Francisco region I stopped by the railway museum. I was immersed in a concentrated treasure trove knowledge not only regarding the railway system in San Francisco but also got some tid bits of information about the old Detroit railway which was really cool seeing something from home when you’re 2,000 miles away.

This is a small, one room, free museum that is packed with history. So much of San Francisco is defined by transportation: the street cars, cable cars, Golden Gate Bridge, to name a few. This museum has photos of early San Francisco, from the 19th century before the Ferry Building was built. It has a time line of San Francisco's transportation history, photos of the San Francisco Bay before the Golden Gate bridge was built, a replica of the front of a street car, with the gears that show how it was opperated, and a lot more!
