California
Discovered - the history of California and the role of the railroads
from 1850 to present is the theme of the layout. Throughout the
exhibit are scenes depicting mining, logging, the old west, a
California mission, business and residential development, industrial
areas, and oil fields. The railroad comes to life as the trains
venture through mountains, farmlands, lakes, rivers, towns and
deserts.
Today
over 9,800 feet of track provide for the running of over 30 trains
at one time. Approximately 2,000 linear feet of underground pipes
and conduits support the operation. Nearly eighteen miles of wires
are required to operate the electrical systems and over 12,000
gallons of water flow through its lakes, rivers and streams.
