Pacific Southwest Railway Museum
Campo Facility
Open Weekends and Major Selected Holidays
9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
The Museum is open for walking tours every Saturday and Sunday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
Rail excursions on historic trains are available on many weekends, please check the excursion schedule for event availability.
The Museum's main facility is located in Campo California, a pleasant fifty-mile drive east of downtown San Diego.
Over eighty
major pieces of railroad equipment, including steam and diesel locomotives,
passenger cars, freight cars and cabooses are available for inspection and
interpretation.
To drive to Campo, proceed east on Interstate 8 from San Diego for about
45 miles. Exit at Buckman Springs Road and proceed south for about 10 miles.
At the intersection with State Route 94, turn right and proceed westbound
for about 1.5 miles until you cross the railroad tracks. Turn left onto
Forrest Gate Road and follow the signs to the Museum.
Alternatively, you may take State Route 94 from downtown San Diego. Route 94 is a two-lane country highway east of Spring Valley, which makes for an interesting scenic drive for those so inclined.
You should allow
about 90 minutes of driving time from downtown San Diego for the first
time you make the trip.
Plan on arriving at least 30 minutes before your excursion's departure time.
