And you'll want to allow at least a couple of hours to enjoy the museum once you're there. Plan to get an early start or spend the night. While the museum offers all the caboose rides you can stand on summer weekends, you won't see much of the lush mountain splendor of the Feather River Canyon. Hardly much of an excursion. The museum is in town, on the south side of the highway.
Signs point the way.
If you get lost, look for the railroad yard. Special admission rates apply. Another event, the Feather River Railroad Days festival, takes place in mid-August. Remember, this is a working museum. Use the same care as you would around any busy railroad.
