Various relays used to control railroad signals. Buttons in
the photo below allow you to control the relays, and a signal light.
Items from rail cars and stations, and a schedule, probably for
the Central Pacific, including stops in the valley.
This display shows how the size of track has changed over time.
Each is an 18" section of rail, but one weighs 28 pounds, and the other 68
pounds. Each is suspended on chains, allowing you to lift them.
Lanterns from the railroads.
An example how rails, tie plates, ties, and ballast are arranged.
A spike puller and a rail jack are shown. Provided by the Niles
Canyon Railway.
Older, smaller rail, with no tie plates
