 Plumas
County is rich in train history and is renowned
for its unique railroad engineering along the
Feather River. Magnificent bridges and tunnels,
a unique railroad "Y" and a section of
track that crosses over itself in a one-mile
loop in order to gain elevation are among the
features that attract train buffs to the area.
 The
world-renowned
Western Pacific Railroad Museum is a
must-see attraction for anyone interested in
trains or railroads. The last spike of the
Western Pacific Railroad was driven into a
trestle at Keddie in 1909, becoming the last
transcontinental railroad to be built across the
Sierra, connecting California to the rest of the
nation.
