Filming at the Museum
The Pacific Southwest Railway Museum has several dozen pieces of railroad equipment and fourteen miles of mountain railroad available to satisfy your production requirements. We have experience using our 1916 depot, diesel and steam locomotives, and both passenger and freight rolling stock in TV movies, commercials, children's videos, and Hollywood movies.
We offer the opportunity to shoot both inside on static displays and anywhere on our “high desert” railroad in action.
