DESCRIPTION:Leap into the future at the Western Railway Museum's new exhibit, "Traction 
 Labs." On Saturday November 16 the Museum, popular for its scenic train 
 rides through the Solano countryside and its collection of historic trains, 
 cuts the ribbon on a new exhibit that propels participants 20+ years into 
 the future. \n\nLocal officials and Museum leaders will be on hand for this 
 first day to officially open "Traction Labs," a permanent, interactive 
 exhibit that explores the future of energy and transportation. 
 \n\n"Traction Labs" features six hands-on activities, which highlight 
 numerous renewable power sources such as solar, wind and water. Visitors 
 get a glimpse of the serious questions and possible solutions regarding 
 modern energy and transportation choices.\n\nIn "Traction Labs," the year 
 is 2040. How will people get around? Where will the power to run society 
 come from? These are the issues the exhibit challenges young people to 
 think about. \n\nA highly interactive exhibit aimed towards students in 
 grades 3 through 8, as well as adults, "Traction Labs" has been in the 
 planning stages for the past six years.  \n\nAmong the local businesses 
 that have contributed to the new exhibit is EDF Renewable Energy, which has 
 been a leader in the development of wind power in the County. Major 
 financial support also has come from companies interested in education: 
 Valero Benicia Refinery, the Bruce Singer Education Fund and the Billy and 
 Louise Yarbrough Family Foundation.\n
