The museum contains 21 complete railroad cars, linked to exploitation and death, with the ghosts said to be appeased by something called the Hungry Ghost Festival.

Great Experience with Tour Guide Emma! - Had the pleasure of meeting the wonderful Emma. She is a great tour guide. She knew her history information about Sacramento well and had a charming personality. We walked to about 7 locations. It was about an hour in length. If you like learning about the history of Sacramento and some haunting chills this is for you! This reminded me of a similar tour I did in Salem Massachusetts. It was easy to find her at the meeting point. She didn’t have the USGA black T shirt on but she was wearing all black with a lantern so I spotted her easily. I would recommend this night tour to anyone. Great experience with Emma!

Not worth the money - The tour wasn’t what I expected. I thought we would be going into buildings and checking them out, but instead we just stood outside of them which was disappointing. I think that this aspect needs to be clearer when booking the tour. To be honest, I don’t think the tour was worth the money.
