M. Beltran (Mark Beltran):

"If you are a railroading enthusiast, you will like this location. It consists of an electric-style boxcar on a short section of rails and a small house behind it. It is hard to find parking, but there is a small lot where you can park for a fee."

"Covid19 led to closure of this little museum. It’s still interesting to walk around the train carriage and read the dedications and acknowledged donors."

"Lots of history about the Pacific Electric Red cars, and city of Seal Beach, and friendly, knowledgeable staff. Museum is small but lots to see. Unfortunately it doesn't have a wheelchair ramp or lift for wheelchair entries."
