The Portola Railroad Museum, operated by the non-profit Feather River Rail Society, is one of the largest railroad museums in the United States. With over 120 pieces of rolling stock covering nearly the entire 20th Century, the museum features one of the most comprehensive collections focusing on a single railroad company. The museum is located in Plumas County, in the city of Portola and is open to the public from early March until the end of October. From Memorial Day until Labor Day, caboose train rides are offered on weekends. Also, the PRM is home to the famous Run-A-Locomotive program, available by appointment, which allows our guests the experience of running a real, full-size railroad locomotive.
