Truckee Railroad Museum

Good historical information to help you get a feel for the area. Information center same building.

One of the three museums in quaint Truckee, the rail road museum showcases history of rail road construction assisted by Chinese workers in Truckee in the nineteenth century. It is inside a small model train carriage near Truckee visitor center. Typically, visitors are welcomed and debriefed by friendly denizens of Truckee who are happy to talk about their town to guests visiting from far away. It takes only a few minutes to visit the rail road museum and you can then head out to the nearby Truckee Jail and Immigrant museums.Ample paid parking is available 24*7.

Fairly small, free museum ($2 donation suggested). The docent was very friendly and knowledgeable. Most of the exhibits consist of just pictures and text

Very nice but very small to be called a museum

Its a very small museum. Its a good choice to visit it when youre waiting for bus.

A very small museum but crammed with a lot of information
