The Pacific Southwest Railway Museum is pleased to announce the “Engineer for a Hour” program starting at our Campo Railroad Museum site. This program will allow railfans the opportunity to climb into the right hand seat of a Diesel locomotive, be given an overview of how a locomotive works, and actually operate it under the guidance of a qualified instructor. The locomotive will be 80-ton switcher #7285. The track operated upon will be in the Museum’s yard, not the SD&A mainline.
The operating dates will be posted here in the near future. Please send a note to engineer@sdrm.org if you would like to be notified via email of the next available date.Here’s the perfect opportunity for the railfan’s dream gift – a chance to run a real locomotive. See you soon at Campo!
