Transportation
Travel Town Museum in Griffith Park, Los Angeles, opened in 1952 after Charley Atkins and other local rail enthusiasts gathered retired railroad equipment as steam service faded. Focused on railroad transportation in the western United States from the 1880s to the 1930s, especially Southern California and Los Angeles, it preserves 43 full-scale locomotives, cars, and other rolling stock alongside exhibits on signals, track construction, artifacts, timetables, and related transportation history. The site also features a miniature railway, has long served as a filming location, and has refined its collection over time to keep its emphasis on Los Angeles railroading and family-oriented interpretation.
