The San Bernardino History & Railroad Museum exists to honor the historic connection between the City of San Bernardino and its long history with BNSF predecessor, the Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe Ry. San Bernardino Mayor Patrick Morris obtained the initial grant to fund the new Museum, and arranged the lease of the former baggage, mail and REA rooms inside the Santa Fe San Bernardino Depot. The San Bernardino History & Railroad Museum is normally open on Saturdays 10am to 2pm. Extended hours of 9am to 5pm for the National Train Day Event on May 9th.
