The Museum's main facility is located in Campo, California, about 45 miles east of downtown San Diego. A restored depot is also operated adjacent to the trolley tracks in La Mesa.
The Museum is operated by volunteers, who are responsible for every phase of its operation. An FRA (Federal Railroad Administration) approved training program is utilized to safely train brakemen, conductors, fireman and engineers. Indeed, many Museum volunteers have gone on to full-time employment with various railroads and Amtrak.
The Campo facility is home to most of the Museum's collection. More than eighty major pieces of railroad equipment are on display, with many of them in various stages of restoration by the volunteers.
While in Campo, be sure to
also visit the Gaskill Brothers Stone Store Museum and the Motor Transport Museum
to complete your understanding of local Campo and transportation history in the region.
The Museum is always in need of additional volunteer assistance. If you are interested please notify Lew Wolfgang to receive further information on membership benefits. If you have ever been moved by the mournful wail of a steam locomotive whistle echoing across the valley, perhaps you should consider joining us.
