Twenty five members of the Society traveled by Amtrak to the California State Railroad Museum in Old Sacramento on July 20th. We were welcomed warmly as delegates from Benicia to learn about the new exhibit and model of the Solano Train Ferry. We were treated to a free, private museum tour and a short lecture on the history of railroading in the western U.S. Benicia played a key role in that history as the Solano Train Ferry home port. The ferry was the largest train ferry in the world and ran for fifty years. Members enjoyed lunch together afterward. A huge thank you to the Museum staff!
