Train Day is Saturday!

The museum will offer a new exhibit of model trains with explanations of what and how different rail cars are used.
The Museum will open both of their engines and their caboose for tours.
The Museum’s largest room of Railroad related equipment has been redone and now features a two rail motor cars. One made in 1938 and last used in 1992 in Presidio Texas by Floyd Seaton. Mr. Seaton retired from the Santa Fe RR and now lives in San Angelo and he will be at the museum for National Train Day to tell visitors of that last ride.

Bring the whole family for a journey back in time to when the Railroad was San Angelo’s largest employer and the best way to travel.
In 1958 if you brought your mail down to the railroad station before the 5 am train left for Brownwood your letter would be most likely be delivered that same day to postal customers all the way to Brownwood.
During the first big oil boom that started in 1923 San Angelo was the official “Oil Capital of West Texas” .  Come check out why we lost that title and why many of downtown San Angelo buildings have been frozen in the time of that first great oil boom period.

Have you been seeing and hearing more trains running through San Angelo in the last few months? Representatives of the museum will be on hand to answer why. Come to the National Train Day right here in San Angelo at the historic Railroad Passenger Station, 703 S. Chadbourne.
