The Niles passenger and freight depots located in the Niles District of Fremont, California, are home to a railroad museum and two new model railroad layouts.

Using historical documentation, the planners and builders of both railroads are recreating the features of the nearby communities with Niles as the center. Included are the depots and the nearby Niles Tower with the crossing of the Southern Pacific and Western Pacific railroads as well as the many neighboring communities and industries. Visit our Model Railroads section for detailed information about the plans currently under development and how to become a part of this exciting new opportunity.

The non-profit Niles Depot Historical Foundation runs the museum and operation of the passenger depot which contains many local artifacts and railroad displays. It is also seeking new members with an interest in local history to be docents in the museum. Visit the Museum section for more information.

Due to COVID 19, museum hours may be reduced. Please call for more information.http://nilesdepot.org/niles/museum.html
