Pacific Southwest Railway Museum

The Museum's main facility is located in Campo, California, about 50 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.
