Layout vs. Life: On the way home from vacation in Yosemite National Park, our Marketing Coordinator stopped at the Tehachapi Loop to see the full-size version of our famous exhibit! Have you ever visited this renowned landmark?
It's officially Spooky Season! ππ¦ π§ Happy haunts and friendly phantoms (including some banjo-playing buddies!) have taken over the museum. They LIVE β er, maybe die? - to make your museum experience as spine-chilling as possible!
We've launched our online collection! As part of our collections digitization project, made possible by the Institute of Museum & Library Services (IMLS), we've created an online archive of our extensive collection of trains and artifacts.

The track near Ilmon is partially hidden from view, but La Mesa Model Railroad Club - LMMRRC, Inc. members worked very hard to make it picturesque! There is a hallway viewing window on one side of the exhibit, so next time you're there, peek through and admire their handiwork.β
