Pacific Southwest Railway
Museum is located in Campo California. The train museum
is a little off the beaten path but well worth a visit.
The museum is located on the grounds of what used to be
Camp Lockett. The gymnasium building of the camp is now
the Pacific Southwest Railway Museum car shop.
On the grounds you will find numerous pieces of rail road
equipment in various stages of repair from passenger cars
to locomotives and everything in between. The drive out
to Campo is quite interesting and takes you through Campo
Valley which is quite rural.
The Railway Museum is open to the public every weekend
and for a small fee visitors can stroll through the collections
railroad equipment, view steam locomotives, passenger
cars, freight cars and cabooses.
Open 9AM to 5PM every Saturday and Sunday. If you would
like to ride a train the Golden State weekend excursion
runs on selected days. Call ahead for a train schedule.
