THERES SOMETHING TRULY AMAZING

about railroading. Something deep inside us

that we cant explain, we just understand.

Holding a promise of something unexpected,something new around every bend in the track.

The panorama of America on display outside

the window - waving a greeting as your train

rushes by.

Its the sound of a distant whistle. The rhythm

of the wheels. The memories of your first

childhood train trip. Its relaxing and

stimulating at the same time. But its also

more. Its a ticket home or a ticket to

adventure. To new scenes passing by the

window or to places well remembered. Its

more much than a way to get from here to

there, its an

experience

youll never

forget.

This year, come join us at the Golden GateRailroad Museum. Experience the rush of

seeing a vintage steam locomotive come to life

or ride in a passenger car where if you listen

carefully, youll insist you can hear the stories

and tales of yesterday.

In 1975 a group of dedicated volunteers

brought this museum to life. We at Golden

Gate Railroad Museum invite you to come visit

us in 2010 and celebrate our 35th anniversary.

Today the museum is alive and well with a

bright outlook into the future. We'd also like to

thank the Pacific Locomotive Association for

their dedicated assistance to the museum.

We look forward to seeing you sometime soon.

All aboard!

Its a ticket home or aticket to adventure.

Its an experience youll

never forget.
