Train days at San Bernardino County Museum
From the San Bernardino County Museum:
All Aboard! All train fans are invited to visit the San Bernardino County Museum from 9am to 5pm on Saturday and Sunday, January 17 and 18, 2009 for "Train Days." Train Day activities are free with museum admission.
The museum will be filled with large and small model train layouts, real railroad artifacts, and fun activities for the whole family. The Pacific Coast Modular Club, Orange County Modular Railroaders, and Southern California Traction Club will install huge layouts with running trains, beautiful scenery, and miniature buildings. Other models will include a traveling circus, a Christmas scene, a monorail, trolleys, and an American Flyer train.
"Folks will also enjoy seeing historic and recent railroad artifacts, including tools, train lanterns, switch stands, and an operational wig-wag," said Museum Educator Nancy Kirkwood. "We will have train experts to talk to visitors. Kids might even be able to run one of the model trains themselves."
Families can play "The Train Game" and learn about train signals. Children will create their own paper locomotive and train logo to take home.
The San Bernardino County Museum is at the California Street exit from Interstate 10 in Redlands. The museum is open Tuesdays through Sundays and holiday Mondays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is $6 (adult), $5 (student or senior), $4 (child aged 5 to 12), and children under five and Museum Association members are admitted free. Parking is free. Food will be available from 9am to 5pm. For more information, visit www.sbcountymuseum.org.
The museum is accessible to persons with disabilities. If assistive listening devices or other auxiliary aids are needed in order to participate in museum exhibits or programs, requests should be made through Museum Visitor Services at least three business days prior to your visit. Visitor Services' telephone number is 909-307-2669 ext. 229 or (TDD) 909-792-1462.



I would like to know when you will be having the model train show back again? My residents from Braswells would love to attend.
Thank you for your time,

I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don't know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.
