Why Become a Sponsor?

History comes alive when someone is able to visit the places that enable them to touch the past. It is said that we learn from our past in order to achieve greater influence over our future. Southern California Railway Museum (SCRM) has been preserving history, and serving as a model of who we are, where we come from and how we, as a nation and region, got to where we are today.

Rail transportation has played a pivotal role in our nation’s history; it has influenced commerce, culture and the economy for over 150 years. SCRM has been preserving that legacy since the mid 1950’s, bringing the joy and wonder of trains and trolleys to over a million visitors. Located in Perris, California, SCRM’s campus spans 100 acres and includes the largest train and trolley collection in Southern California. Your financial support enables SCRM to give visitors and guests the ability to ride the rails of history.

About Southern California Railway Museum

The Southern California Railway Museum preserves, restores, and interprets artifacts, both large and small, of the rail transportation industry. The Museum was founded in 1956 in Los Angeles, and since then has become the largest railway museum in the Western United States. The Museum is home to an extensive collection of historic locomotives, railcars, trolleys, model trains and much more. A variety of events are hosted throughout the year, and the Museum is available for private and corporate rentals. Trains and trolleys operate for the public every weekend. The Museum is a California non-profit organization and volunteers, members, associates, sponsors, and private donations make museum operation and development possible.
