California - San Luis Obispo Railroad Museum

San Luis Obispo, CA - San Luis Obispo Railroad Museum. The Railroad History of California's Central Coast

1894 Historic Museum Freighthouse History
Originally built with the San Luis Obispo Depot upon arrival of the Southern Pacific Railroad in 1894, the 32' x 150' freight house served to load and transfer goods between the SP and the local narrow gauge, Pacific Coast Railway which linked San Luis Obispo with other towns in the County, State and Nation. The freight house remains intact today and is one of the oldest railroad structures in San Luis Obispo County. The exterior has recently been completely restored by the City of San Luis Obispo. Interior museum construction has come along way. The historic 1894 freight house building is our permanent home and houses the Museum and model railroad. We continue to need your help in finishing our interior restoration effort as well as artifact display and exhibit development. Help us preserve, and educate the community about, our regional railroad history!
