Thanks everyone for your great replies. You've been very helpful.
I don't think we'll have any shortage of steam on this trip. Best regards, David Brady '02 LXi, NC -----Original Message----- |

If you think a 'bird is an expensive hobby, a private rail car would make a 'bird seem like a bargain.
The basic charge just to _move_ a private rail passenger car is 22 first class one way fares.... plus local switcher charges to get from your siding to the train you'll move on... I'd rather pay for the diesel. Pete Masterson '95 Blue Bird Wanderlodge WBDA 42 El Sobrante CA "aeonix1@mac.com" On Mar 26, 2009, at 10:47 AM, mariopatti1 wrote:

Hi David,
I saw your e-mail post below and decided to pass on some info about steam and railway museums in the San Diego County area. Please check out the links below. My favorite is the Antique Gas and Steam Engine Museum. A couple of times a year they put on a live show. I attended one of their events a few years ago and took some pictures. You can check out the pictures at: http://picasaweb.google.com/Thundergod4u...ctorShow#. The picture will give you and idea of what to expect during their show. Pacific Southwest Railway Museum, Campo, CA http://www.sdrm.org/ http://www.totalescape.com/destin/califo...hp?tid=578 http://www.weekenddriver.com/roadtrip/hwy94F/hwy94.html Antique Gas and Steam Engine Museum, Vista, CA http://www.agsem.com/show20070624.html http://www.sandiegoreader.com/places/Ant...ne-Museum/ Incidentally, both museums are open year around and both also have nearby campgrounds that are reasonable. The closest county parks are Guajome, Lake Morena, and Potrero. Guajome is close to the Steam museum. The other two are near the railway museum. Please Check out the county parks map at http://tinyurl.com/cv4ked or http://www.co.san-diego.ca.us/parks/pmap_google.html. So, enjoy your drive West. Bring your Kodak. There are lots of things to photograph. Just make sure you fuel up before arriving in California. Truckstops are not that frequent in this state.
