PLEASE HELP THE RAILROAD MUSEUM AT ARDENWOOD
BY DONATING TO THE SPCRR

Car Barn Foundation

In January, 2010, the museum began construction of its first permanent structure, called the Car Barn, a 50’ x 140’ storage facility needed to provide security and protection for its collection of historic narrow gauge cars from California, Nevada and Oregon. The museum has the country’s largest collection of cars manufactured by Carter Brothers of Newark, California, a recognized pioneer in the narrow gauge movement. At Ardenwood Historic Farm in Fremont, California, these cars are restored to operation on a working 3’ gauge railroad, constructed to 19th century standards. We urgently need your help to complete funding for the Car Barn in order to bring this historically important collection indoors.

A matching fund program has been set up to double the value of donations for the Car Barn. Contributions may be made out to SPCRR, and sent to:
