Rolling stock of the Western Pacific Railroad Museum

The Western Pacific Railroad Museum (WPRM) holds in its collection a total of twenty-nine diesel locomotives, one electric locomotive, one steam locomotive, fifteen passenger cars, numerous freight and maintenance cars and eighteen cabooses. They offer excursions and a "Run A Locomotive" program during the summer. The WPRM has one of the larger collections of early diesel era locomotives and freight cars in North America. The museum is often considered to have one of the most complete and historic collections of equipment and materials from a single railroad family. The holdings also include extensive corporate records and images, as well as personal collections from those who worked for the Western Pacific Railroad (WP).
