- On June 18, 2016, I went to Pacific Electric Days at the Orange Empire Railroad Museum in Perris, Ca. The day was full of fun stuff to see. And at a vast location like the OERM, it was hard to decide what to film. The stars of the day were freight motor 1624, and the Pacific Electric Red Cars, also known as "Blimps". Seeing and hearing working machines from around 100 years ago is truly a sight to behold. So sit back and enjoy the sights and sounds of the Pacific Electric. Please Rate and comment, Thanx! :-)

I found the museum in July of 1963 and was ecstatic to find a few red and yellow cars that had been saved. I joined at that time but was never able to participate due to work schedules and distance from home. I quit membership after 46 years. It is worth a look but they have too much equipment most of which will never be restored.
418 and 498 look big and beautiful! I always enjoy seeing the "Blimps". And I also enjoying seeing Steeple Cab 1624 trundling up and down the track. I have many of the Pacific Electric equipment as Suydam HO brass models. It's nice to know that some of the 'real' ones are still around.
Never thought I would see a pacific electric steeplecab!
And it's still running! Steeple cab #1624 is still alive and kickin' at the Southern California Railway Museum, formerly known as the Orange Empire Railway Museum. 😊
No wonder they call those crossings "wig wag" because they go WIG WAG WIG WAG!
love the wig wag sound . reminded me when i lived in glendora and @ grand and foothil, there were pedistal wig wags . loved it.
A definite destination for train lovers
Great museum and they have alot of history that they have saved from the cutting torches.
That lonely dead steam locomotive looks sad :-(
That locomotive (Union Pacific MK-10 Mikado #2564) is currently sitting there because it's too big and heavy be placed anywhere else. But the museum hopes to restore it to working order in the near future
that 1 red trolley dounds luke the metro red line horn
good job TRAV that is a cool place to visit,,gary
Thank you much. We had a great time!
Why on earth did I see NJ Transit coaches in a video of a railroad museum in California???
They were donated to the museum. The museum has equipment from different parts of the us
I wonder if it came with the graffiti from New Jersey.
I got to get back thier Nice thank you
Wow, that care was built in 1928!!! 7:25
JungleYT 418 was built in 1911 or 1913. 318 was built in 1930. 418 and 498 can only go about 35 mph. 318 can go over 60 mph, it has much faster motors.
Nice
have u beeen to their day out with thomas yet?
Was that a Southern Pacific MK-5 Mikado?
TexasRailfan21 no, Union Pacific, it used to sit in a park in Oro Grande Calif.
It's a union Pacific MK-10
Neat but wood seats
It is train or TRAM?
If you are referring to the Red Cars, technically speaking, they are classified as "Interurbans".
Ярослав Овчаренко we call them trolley or interurban depending upon the service being locale or longer distance.
