Part of the former UP yard is occupied by the large collection of locomotives and rolling stock of the Feather River Rail Society which owns and operates the Portola Railway Museum. Lots of Alcos on the property but it's a must anyway if your're travelling along UP's (originally Western Pacific's) Feather River Canyon.
