experience which interprets how developments in transportation technology shaped and continue
to impact daily life."

Come ride the rails of Texas !
Thank you for visiting our site. We hope you will find it informative about the museum and
the history of transportation in and around San Antonio. We really hope you will come
to visit us and experience our collections, our working railroad and the various smaller
scale train layouts that we operate.
Texas Transportation Museum was begun in 1964. It's a great place, built and run by volunteers who like
this stuff so much we are willing to work for free! We receive no government
funding of any kind and so are totally dependent on the income we make from visitors. We
must be doing something right if we are still here after 40 years! We are open three days a
week and offer scheduled train rides on Saturday and Sunday afternoons. Details below.
We hope you find this site to be helpful. "Take" as many of the pictures as you like. If you use them
on a web site, it would be nice if you mention the museum and add us as a link. Let us know if
you would like your site added as a link as well. If it's in Texas and about transportation,
we will be delighted to add it if we don't have it linked already.
