The Niles Canyon Railway operates as a living history museum interpreting the importance of railroads in the development of California and the nation. Our museum and its railroad are run solely by dedicated volunteers as we try to preserve the atmosphere of railroads in small-town America before the 1960s by connecting the historic communities of the Niles District of Fremont, Sunol and eventually Pleasanton. We offer a variety of programs and train rides operating over portion of the route of the original Transcontinental Railroad.
