Todd Lerew, author of Also on View: Unique and Unexpected Museums of Greater Los Angeles, will be joining us during Behind the Scenes to share about his new book – which features Southern California Railway Museum! This book shines a light on the incredible wealth of stories that lie just beyond the well-beaten path. He will also be available to sign any copies and answer any questions. You can pre-order a copy below or purchase a copy during your visit to SCRM. Stay tuned for exact times.
Behind The Scenes

At this annual all-day event, visitors get special access to locomotives, passenger and freight cars, streetcars, interurban electric cars and artifacts dating back to 1870.
Bring the family for a fun and fascinating day! Activities at Behind the Scenes will feature tours, and access to maintenance and restoration areas not normally open to the public (like Carhouse 7).
