- Golden State Model Railroad Museum
The Golden State Model Railroad Museum is an operating model railroad exhibit located in Point Richmond, California, within the boundary of the Miller/Knox Regional Shoreline park. It is located in the Brickyard Cove area and features dozens of realistic city and country scenes, with trains from different eras running on several layouts in different scales. It is on the US National Register of Historic Places.
The East Bay Model Engineers Society, which builds and operates the layouts in the Museum, was founded in 1933 and is one of the oldest continually operating model railroad clubs in the country. The Museum, which opened just over 15 years ago, Operating models range from the steam engines and classic passenger trains of yesteryear to today's modern diesel behemoths and AMTRAK passenger trains. Historic scenes such as the Oakland Mole, Oakland 16th street stations ca. 1955, Martinez' John Muir trestle, Tehachapi loop, Niles Canyon and Donner Pass will be found on the layouts. The friendly operators and docents will gladly answer your questions and provide historical and educational information. The Museum provides a unique insight into California history as well as the fun of watching these historically accurate miniature trains wind their way through realistic scenes.
