About Pacific Southwest Railway Museum

Pacific Southwest Railway Museum operates vintage train rides from early 20th-century locomotives and cars at its Campo Railroad Museum facility. Visitors board trains at the Campo Depot for experiences including the Golden State ride and the Sunset Special, a 45-minute journey through East County backcountry. The museum displays over 100 pieces of railroad equipment: steam and diesel locomotives, passenger cars, freight cars, and cabooses. Passenger equipment includes Pullman coaches from the 1920s and 1930s, sleeper cars, dining cars, and business cars spanning decades of railroad history. The museum suits history enthusiasts and families exploring Pacific Southwest rail heritage. A visit involves touring the static display, visiting the gift shop, and boarding scheduled train rides. Pacific Southwest Railway Museum is located in Campo, California, fifty miles east of downtown San Diego. Infants under 1 year old receive free admission to the museum, according to pricing listed on psrm.org.
