    In celebration of Amtrak’s 40th anniversary, America’s Railroad is taking an Amtrak Exhibit Train on tour of the Pacific Northwest and California. The Exhibit Train, which makes a stop in Sacramento at the California State Railroad Museum, is a unique traveling display showcasing the railroad’s history. The exhibit showcases Amtrak history over the decades, displaying memorabilia such as vintage advertising, past menus and dinnerware, and period uniforms.

    Plus, just outside the Museum, on the 1849 Scene lawn, there will be a fun “Chuggington Depot” set-up with lots of free activities for kids. And on Saturday only, visitors to the California State Railroad Museum will have two opportunities to watch a new Amtrak 40th Anniversary film with a special in-person introduction by producer Rich Luckin.

    In addition, commemorative 40th anniversary merchandise will be available for purchase onboard the train including: Amtrak: An American Story, a 144-page commemorative book that chronicles the history of the railroad with archival photographs, a historical timeline and personal narratives for each decade; Amtrak: The First 40 Years, a documentary DVD that provides an exclusive look inside America’s Railroad with hard-to-find photographs and video footage as well as interviews with past and present leaders.
