Who we are
The Golden Gate Live Steamers (GGLS) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) public benefit
corporation that was founded in 1936. It was started by train enthusiasts for
the purpose of educating people in railroad history and lore and also to further
the avocation of live steam, gas-mechanical and electronic railroad technology.
We operate our 7.5" gauge model trains for the general public to ride from noon -
3 pm every Sunday (weather permitting). except for the Sunday before Memorial
Day and the first Sunday in October. The gate is open from 11:45 am to 3 pm. We
also have extensive layouts for 4.75", 3.5" and 2.5" gauge model trains.
