Our Mission Statement:
Preserving Railroad History Along California's
Donner Pass Route.
The focus of the Placer-Sierra Railroad Hertiage Society is to research, document and preserve the development along the historic transportation corridor from Sacramento, California to Reno, Nevada.
- We shall interpret the relationship and effect of railroad commerce and activities with cultural and economic development of local communities and the Placer-Sierra region.
- We will collect, curate, restore and interpret, by way of display and operation for public view, memorabilia of local railroads.
- We will work with other civic, historical and public organizations to accomplish these goals.
The Society sponsors two publications..
