From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Opened in 1966 by Irene Lewis, the Lomita Railroad Museum is a small museum in Lomita, California, devoted to the steam engine period of Railroading. On display are a 1902 Baldwin Locomotive, a Southern Pacific tender, a 1910 Union Pacific caboose, and a Santa Fe caboose. The Museum building is a beautiful replica of a 19th Century depot that once stood at Wakefield Massachusetts. The Museum also houses a full-size replica of a 1920s water tower that was constructed in 2000. The museum also incorporates a small public park, which accommodates a Union Pacific boxcar and a Union Oil tank car.
