A Railroad Festival With A Large Layout Tour
San Luis Obispo Railroad Museum will host the 2015 Central Coast Railroad Festival from October 1st to 4th. This Festival spotlights numerous types of railroading in the heart of the California Central Coast. The festival focuses on rail history, exhibits, programs, music, safety education, art displays, rail excursions and model railroading of all types.
Activities will take place at numerous railroad, historical and educational locations throughout San Luis Obispo County. The Railroad Festival is designed to please both casual train buffs and avid rail fans, as well as to delight tourists and locals of all ages.
Most festival activities will be free and all will be fun and very family friendly. Attendees will also be able to explore the area’s beaches, wineries, missions, quaint downtowns, and other special attractions.
Two of my favorite things to do are visiting the huge Farmers’ Market in downtown San Luis Obispo on Thursday night (Available fifty Thursdays per year) and eating at the many excellent downtown restaurant patios that back up to the lush creek that runs through town.
As is custom, I have organized a free self-guided tour of area model railroads and garden railroads. This year there will be thirty railroads at twenty locations.
