Description:

The South Bay Historical Railroad Society (SBHRS), founded by former museum curator Edward Peterman, operates a cost-free railroad-themed museum for the community. Comprising historic buildings, a collection of railroad artifacts, and operational scale model displays, the museum also provides its members access to an extensive library of railroad-related books and videos. Housed in the historic Santa Clara Depot, with structural components dating back to 1863-1877, the museum includes notable structures such as the Southern Pacific Santa Clara Tower (1926), the Maintenance-of-Way Speeder Shed (1926), and the Section Tool House (1894).
