The Pacific Southwest Railway Museum is pleased to announce its Engineer for an Hour program at our Campo Museum site. This program will allow railfans the opportunity to climb into the right hand seat of a Diesel locomotive, receive 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 or a larger locomotive depending on availability. The track operated upon will be in the Museum's yard, not the SD&A mainline.
Reservations are easy to make, just click here to go to the online reservation page, select the date, then the time, then place your reservation using the Museum's secure on-line ticketing system.
We are currently unable to schedule this program far in advance, so we encourage you to check back early in the week you are interested in visiting with us.
Here's the perfect opportunity for the railfan's dream gift, a chance to run a real locomotive. See you soon at Campo!
