Established in 1982, the California Trolley and Railroad Corporation (CTRC) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with a mission to preserve and reflect the rich legacy of rail transportation in the Santa Clara Valley for the educational and recreational benefit of current and future generations.[1]

Among the numerous projects underway is the complete restoration of Southern Pacific 2479[3][4] and the static restoration of Southern Pacific 1215.[5] The California Trolley and Railroad Corporation has restored for operation a number of historic trolley cars at History Park at Kelley Park.[6] In August 2009 the Corporation opened the Happy Hollow line extension allowing trolley service to the Japanese Friendship Garden and the Happy Hollow Zoo in Kelley Park.[7]

A major undertaking is the creation of the San Jose Steam Railroad Museum with the focal point becoming the former six-stall Lenzen Roundhouse and turntable.[8]
