Worker lacked professionalism and uncontrollable temper. My children was yelled by an elderly man. Put up appropriate signs and blockage if you do not want visitors to access certain restricted areas. Create clear boundaries. It's a small museum. It's not difficult to see if a restricted chain is missing. Overall poor experience for a supposedly family friendly museum. Do not recommended unless you do not want to deal with grumpy elderly men.

Visited with my friend Tanika. Had a great time. The staff were very friendly and shared a bit of history with us.

This relatively small museum gives its attendees an interesting opportunity to learn about the history of the city of San Bernardino. It is housed in the San Bernardino Train Depot now used by the Metrolink network operated by Amtrak. This train station opened in 1918 and was the biggest one west of the Mississippi at the time. Please note that this free museum is only open on Saturdays from 10:00AM to 3:00PM and has a separate entrance just to the left of main depot entrance on the Westside of the building when facing it from the street.

Initially, I thought this exceptional museum was just a small anteroom sort of quaint house type museum. In fact, it is a HUGE COLLECTION of some very special rail-related artifacts from the bygone age of steam to the present. It is a San Bernardino ? gem! Harvey girls, with the very first diner served, model trains of a very wide assortment. If you like trains, history, or just a way to spend a wonderful family afternoon. Be prepared to spend around 2 to 3 hours gawking, gawping, gaping and grinnin' from ear to ear! Enjoy! Check hours. Open Saturdays.

We were not expecting much when planning on coming here this Saturday, but it was such a fun and interesting stop!! The volunteers are so friendly and helpful. We have two young kids (3&5) and they loved it! They have two motorized train sets, so me that adults can control and one that they will turn on for you. It was also neat to see the depot (very vintage and cute!) and to watch the trains passing on the platform. It is a working train station though so anyone with kids should just be extra cautious on the train platform. We will definitely be stopping by again for train watching :)

We are very happy to have a chance to visit this small but full of railroad history museum. We are welcomed by a kind lady who introduced us a senior museum narrator. He’s a very kind person and he explained bit by bit the history and significance of almost all exhibits, even in and out of this current still-used rail station. It largely increased our knowledge on the development of railroad history in LA region and beyond. Thanks for keeping such a wonderful historical site.
