FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE April 21, 2005 Contact: Phil Kohlmetz, Executive Director 707-374-2978 x114 philcoagogo@sbcglobal.net Western Railway Museum Announces Extended Summer Hours From Memorial Day to Labor Day, the Western Railway Museum expands its public hours and is open 5 days per week. Summer hours are Wednesdays through Sundays from 10:30 AM to 5:00 PM. The Western Railway Museum will also be open on Independence Day (Monday July 4) and on Labor Day (Monday September 5). For those looking for something fun, relaxing, or educational this summer, a visit to the Western Railway Museum is perfect. At less than an hour's drive from San Francisco, Stockton, Sonoma or Sacramento, it's an easy day-trip. The highlight of any visit is a 10-mile round trip ride on authentically restored historic railcars. The Museum is completely run by volunteers, who operate trains every hour, on the hour (weather permitting). In addition, visitors can view electric railroad exhibits in Cameron Hall, tour the Car House (where 25 life-size antique electric rail cars are preserved), picnic under mature trees in spacious Laflin Park, and shop in the Museum store. Admission is just $8 for adults, $7 for seniors 65 years and older, and $5 for children 2 through 14. Admission includes unlimited train rides and free parking. The Western Railway Museum is owned and operated by the Bay Area Electric Railroad Association, a 501(c)(3) non-profit, public-benefit, historical, and educational organization. The Western Railway Museum is located at 5848 State Highway 12 in Solano County, 15 minutes East of Interstate 80, halfway between Suisun City and Rio Vista.
