Woodland Train Depot is part of the Sacramento Valley Historical Railways and is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to preserving the railroad history of the Sacramento Valley. It is comprised of individuals from varied backgrounds united by a common interest in railroading and railroad history. We need funds to restore our Caboose. The wooden windows have dry rot, the two doors need repairing and the exterior needs a new coat of "Caboose Red". Please help!

The Woodland Train Depot is part of the Sacramento Valley Historical Railways and is a fellowship of volunteers who are dedicated to community service and education through the preservation and operation of historic railroad equipment and structures in the Sacramento Valley.
The Woodland Train Depot fundraised to install vintage signals and lighting the last two years. Generous donations from Woodland Sunrise Rotary, Native Daughters of the Golden West and the Yolo County Historical Society allowed us to reach our goal. Three antique baggage wagons have also been restored.
Now it is time to give our 1942 Southern Pacific caboose needed attention. Its numerous wooden windows are in need of replacement. The exterior doors need extensive work along with a new coat of caboose red paint. We need your financial help to accomplish this next project and thank you for consideration.
The Woodland Train Depot believes in equity. It is an integral part of our history and identity. We want to create an inclusive culture where all forms of diversity are seen as real value for the organization.
