The Western
Pacific Railroad Museum in Portola has a very diverse collection
of passenger cars from various eras ranging throughout the
history of the Feather River Route. Ornate Executive
Business Cars, which were the corporate "Lear Jets" of their
time, standard baggage cars, mail cars, sleepers and
coaches, and lowly Maintenance of Way bunk cars all share track
space together in Portola, in varying states of restoration and
preservation, taking our visitors back to a more romantic era of
travel. No less than 4 examples of the famed Streamliner,
the "California Zephyr", are preserved in Portola, telling the
story of the "Most talked about train in America", including the
last remaining dining car from the CZ, our "Silver Plate", and
Western Pacific locomotive #805-A, the last of WP's Passenger
diesels. Welcome aboard!
