South Bay Historical Railroad Society
- South Bay Historical Railroad Society
The South Bay Historical Railroad Society is located in Santa Clara, California and operates a railroad museum in the Santa Clara Depot, as well as the Santa Clara Tower and two other buildings.
The depot is the oldest train station on the west coast. The track in front of the depot is the former Southern Pacific, currently Union Pacific "Coast Line", and also UP's Newhall Yard, where freight trains are made up and change crews. Both passenger and freight trains pass the depot. They include Caltrain, the Altamont Commuter Express, the Amtrak Capitol Corridor, the Amtrak Coast Starlight, and various UP freight trains.
Inside the museum there is a library, artifact displays, model railroad layouts (HO and N scale), and a board room that is available to rent. The museum is open on Tuesdays from 6PM to 9PM, and Saturdays from 11AM to 3PM.
