As you walk in the front door from the Strand, to your left you will observe what was the Harvey House restaurant, to your right was the ticket booth, and straight ahead was the news stand and the doors to the concourses. The waiting room is now called the People's Gallery and is populated by Ghosts of Travelers Past. The full-sized figures in the gallery were made with plaster molds of real persons, and depict individuals who might have passed through the waiting room in 1932. The figures were created in 1981 by Elliot and Ivan Schwarz.

Extractions: Rail buffs say California's train museum in Sacramento is the best in North America Interior view of a private rail car. The Magic of Steam Lives on At noon on a summer day in 1991 along the banks of the Sacramento River, 25 railroad steam engines, ranging from a replica of Britains seminal Tom Thumb to a 500-ton American workhorse that had journeyed 1,000 miles from Wyoming under its own power, began blowing their whistles. First the small engines the replicas and restorations of pre-Civil War machines began with high-pitched toots. Soon, alto shrieks and warnings from the mid-sized engines joined in. Finally, the big locomotives, with rumbling bass bellows, completed the ensemble. For two minutes, hundreds of people, many of them old railroad buffs with tears streaming down their faces, listened as this fantastical collection of ancient steam machines huffed and hissed, seeming to plead, Dont forget us. Remember what we once meant to you.
