Today
On May 3, 2009, a small museum opened in the former East Peak yard of the Mt. Tamalpais and Muir Woods Railway. The "Gravity Car Barn" shelters a recreated gravity car that rolls from the barn on 84-feet of rail. Volunteer Friends of Mt Tam Docents staff the museum on weekends. Displays and a short documentary illustrate the railroad's story.
