And here in the Railroad Museum, in the shop, I met for the first time Rosie the Riveter. On posters and stickers. She is the symbol and the nickname of the women, who worked in the wartime industry in WW2.
Her poster 'We Can Do It!' was made by J.Howard Miller. Rosie has her own website http://www.rosietheriveter.org and a memorial in Richmond, CA.
I like Rosie. She remembers me of the Dutch women, who worked hard in 1940-45 to give food to their family and try to keep the house warm. Not especially in the war industry, but to 'keep the home fires burning'. In a way she reminds me of my own mother.

A range of lavishly restored 1860s locomotives, with “cow-catcher” front grilles and bulbous smokestacks. The old passenger station and freight depot, a block south, now serve as the summer depot for a refurbished steam train, which makes a seven-mile, 45-minute round-trip along the river.

The California State Railroad Museum
The California State Railroad Museum is a great place to visit. They have many engines and railcars spanning a long period of California history. Rail travel was key to the openning up of the West and Sacramento was a major rail hub, the western terminus of the transcontinental line. The Museum has interesting exhibits on the history of railroading. Leave a Comment Other Contact: Web page: http://www.csrmf.org P

It's located in "Old Town" Sacramento. We went up in may of 2002 to see Thomas The Tank Engine. The weather was perfect and we walked every where. We stayed across from the Sacramento Capital Building. The food was way expensive. So plan to bring your Credit Card. Leave a Comment

Many train buffs go to Sacramento just to visit the California State Railroad Museum. Its extensive collection of locomotives, railroad cars, and related memorabilia probably makes it the best museum of its kind in North America. Visiting the museum is an excellent way to learn about a bygone era--when the railroad was king.
The museum is located at Old Sacramento. It is open even on Saturdays and Sundays. Adult admission fee is $6. Leave a Comment
