California State Railroad Museum

Located in the Old Sacramento State Historic Park, Sacramento, CA, the California State Railroad Museum is the largest museum of its kind in the United States, and it is still growing.

AMTRAK: The National Railroad Passenger Corporation

Traveling by train is one of the most enjoyable and relaxing ways to get from point A to point B. It's the ultimate "scenic route." But bring along some reading material: if you're travelling very far, you'll be on the train for quite some time.

Model Railroader Magazine

Model Railroader, founded by Al Kalmbach in 1934, is the world's most popular magazine devoted to model railroading.

The National Model Railroad Association

The NMRA is the world's largest association of model railroad enthusiasts, and has, from its inception in 1935, played an important role in developing standards to promote compatibility between model railroad products within any given scale, regardless of manufacturer, and promoting interest in this fascinating hobby.
