Kids who bring 25 pennies will be rewarded with a colorful train whistle. Contributions can be made online at sanangelorailway.org, mailed or brought to 703 South Chadbourne Street, San Angelo, 76903.

Tuesday January 4th: proclamation reading about the quarter-century history at San Angelo City Council

 

 According to Railway Museum Board president Suzanna Valenzuela, the proclamation reveals several changes. “We’re expanding operating hours to three days a week,” Valenzuela said. “In addition to the regular Saturday 10 a.m.-4 p.m. hours, the museum will be open Thursday and Friday from 1-5 p.m. We’ll be able to handle school tours and special groups and create opportunities for people to visit the museum on weekdays.”

 

 On the second Saturday each month from 10 a.m.-4 p.m., the museum’s kid-sized motorized train will chug around the grounds and scale model trains will be on display. There are Living History tours and treasure hunts to help people discover the depot’s secrets. 

 

The museum’s new Second Saturday events sponsored by the San Angelo Cultural Council includes Art Aboard (visual arts in January), Los Dias del Tren (AMAS in February), Rail Tales in March, Tunes on the Tracks in April, Treasures of History  and Railway Days in May, Click and Clack photography in Jone, “Better Safe Than Sorry” and "Working on the Railway" in September, Scare Station (October), Santa’s Santa Fe Station (Nov. 26) and more.
