About Lomita Railroad Museum

The Lomita Railroad Museum in Lomita, California, preserves authentic railroad equipment from the steam engine era. Visitors explore exhibits featuring a Southern Pacific Steam Locomotive and Tender, a 1910 Union Pacific Caboose, a modern Santa Fe caboose, a 1923 Union Oil Tank Car, and a 1913 Southern Pacific outside-braced wood box car. The museum building itself reflects careful research into authentic depot structures from the period. School groups ranging from pre-kindergarten through K-12 can arrange tours to learn about the golden age of steam, as can special needs organizations and senior groups. The museum's design prioritizes historical accuracy throughout its collections and facility. The location at 2137 West 250th Street offers families and railroad enthusiasts an opportunity to examine preserved locomotives, cabooses, and freight cars up close.
