"Very nice museum. In some ways better than the Southern California Railway Museum in Perris CA. (that one has too many interesting areas off-limits) This museum is about the same size but you can see the whole thing. Train only runs on Saturday. I rode it 20 years ago and it was enjoyable. Some very interesting and rare locomotives."
"This museum is a hidden gem. There is a great collection of historical engines and cars, ranging from a steam engine to a Coaster engine. The story of the railroad in San Diego is told by historical photos and displays, plus some of the cars on display. Adults and kids alike will enjoy the train ride. The best part is the entry and ride fees are very reasonable and a great value. In addition to the exhibit building, there are 8 tracks with locomotives and cars to explore, and some new exhibits are under construction."
"Troop 765 visited the museum for the Railroading merit badge and had a great time. The volunteers have been expanding the museum and did a fantastic job decorating for Halloween and even have a special Halloween train ride."
"So much fun!! The volunteers are friendly and inviting. The train ride was a blast & we can't wait to visit again. A smooth 45 minute ride through beautiful rolling hills with Big Band music playing overhead, gave us us a rare glimpse into its history. We saw horses, cows, and hawks in an area most people don't get to see. Like them on social media & you'll receive $5 off! Children under 3 ride for free. Tons of free parking."
