About this activity

Lomita Railroad Museum is dedicated to the incredible era of the steam engine, and not only do they ensure complete authenticity within their exhibits that explore the rich railroad history, BUT they also have actual locomotives on display!

Kids can come up close in person to a Southern Pacific Railroad Steam Locomotive (1902-1960) and Tender. Nearby stand a 1910 Union Pacific Caboose and a modern all-steel Santa Fe caboose, as well as a 1913 Southern Pacific outside-braced wooden box car.

How amazing is that?

The Lomita Railroad Museum is the kind of place that you can not only learn about how these locomotives operated in their day, but how they were brought to the museum AND you can spend time in some locomotive cabs and see what the engineer's view was like!

Use those imaginations kids - can you feel what it would have been like to be a train conductor over 100 years ago?

In addition to the locomotive displays, the Lomita Railroad Museum host events across the year, from family-friendly afternoon teas, so seasonal fun like Santa and the Polar Express!

So steam your way into your next family day out, and choo choo choose to have a loco-tastic exprience at Lomita Railroad Museum!

All aboard!

Lomita Railroad Museum FAQ’s

Keep an eye on that events calendar so you don't miss out on anything you might want to go to!

The Lomita Railroad Museum Gift Shop offers a wide variety of items that make the perfect gifts for adults, children, and railroad afficianados, with toys, jewelry, clothing and tote bags, museum collectibles, mugs and more!

They take reservations for group field trips to the museum, including pre-kindergarten and K-12 school groups, with tours lasting 30 to 45 minutes. They cover the history of the museum, the Founder, history, and information about their trains and their purpose. They have samples of coal and talk a little about fuel types and what was used during the operation of our 1902 Southern Pacific steam locomotive - and kids can climb aboard a train too!

Most of the museum is wheelchair accessible. Visitors will be able to view artifacts in the museum and get up close to the locomotive and caboose, but will need to climb a few short steps to access the rolling stock.

Free parking is available in the lot adjacent to museum.
