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.
