The Texas Transportation Museum was founded in 1964 to preserve San Antonio’s railroad and transportation heritage, including artifacts related to the history of local railroad lines. In 1967, it relocated from its original location in downtown San Antonio to its current 40-acre site within McAllister Park. Exhibits showcase major railroad and transportation artifacts such as vintage locomotives and antique automobiles, along with several model train layouts. Weekend excursions aboard the museum’s full-sized Longhorn and Western Railroad are offered for free with museum admission, departing every hour and traversing more than 3,700 feet of track. Train rides also operate at major museum special events, including the Halloween Spook-Track-Ula event and the holiday Santa’s Railroad Wonderland event.
