The Western Pacific Railroad Museum in Portola is operated by the Feather River Rail Society. The FRRS is wholly funded by admissions, locomotive rentals, museum store sales, and generous donations of time, material, labor and money, and does not receive funding from any local, federal or state governments. The volunteers of the FRRS restore equipment, operate trains, sort and catalog archives, repair and improve the facilities, and perform hundreds of "house keeping" type duties related to keeping the museum open.
In addition to the museum grounds and equipment, the society is the custodian of several notable archive collections, including historic photographs, equipment diagrams, business ledgers and authorizations for expenditure, equipment records and other important documentation from the Western Pacific Railroad.
On behalf of the members of the Feather River Rail Society, we invite you to join us in preserving the Western Pacific Railroad for current and future generations to enjoy.
