Pacific Southwest Railway Museum is located in Campo California. The train museum is a little off the beaten path but well worth a visit. The museum is located on the grounds of what used to be Camp Lockett. The gymnasium building of the camp is now the Pacific Southwest Railway Museum car shop. On the grounds you will find numerous pieces of rail road equipment in various stages of repair from passenger cars to locomotives and everything in between. The drive out to Campo is quite interesting and takes you through Campo Valley which is quite rural.

The museum offers train rides on most weekends. Visitors are treated to a 16-mile round-trip journey onboard vintage passenger cars pulled by a Diesel-electric locomotive. The train lumbers along the track past ranches and the scenic back county of Southern California. This is not a high speed train ride, it's a pleasant slow moving ride trip back in time. Departure Times: 11:00 AM and 2:30 PM tickets are adults $15.00 and children $5.00. The museum also has locomotive cab rides ( Reservations and advance payment required ) and a regularly scheduled rail excursions to Tecate, Mexico. While at Tecate visitors can take the Tecate Brewery Walking Tour. Due to customs regulations these trips must be reserved in advance. These trips sell out quickly, get your reservation in early. Call or visit the museum for more information. Adult $43.00 Child $23.00
