A small free depot museum, donations accepted, with old photographs, railway pieces and volunteers who like to explain them. Reviewers mention clean public restrooms, souvenirs for sale and occasional live music events. It is a short stop in old downtown San Dimas rather than a day out.
Run by the Pacific Railroad Society in a historic depot, this free little museum is a train-lover kid's dream with model layouts and rail memorabilia. Friendly docents give tours, so don't be shy about asking questions. It's staffed by volunteers and only open most Saturdays, so call before driving out to make sure they're open.

Never knew this old downtown of San Dimas existed. The museum has a lot of great photos on display. The downtown are very enthusiastic and love to share their knowledge. Donations accepted and I highly recommend as they do not charge.
