PRS operates the Pacific Railroad Museum in the former Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe depot in San Dimas, California. Our goal is to restore the depot to represent a working railroad station. Artifacts and exhibits on various aspects of railroading are on display there.

The depot also houses our extensive railroad research library containing books, documents, maps and photographs collected since the 1930s. This facility is open to the public and staffed by PRS volunteers

The PRS Museum and Library is located 10 miles east of Pasadena. From the 210 Freeway travel south on the 57

Freeway and exit at Arrow Highway. Turn left on Arrow Highway under the freeway to Bonita Ave. Turn left onto Bonita.

The main access route, Bonita Ave, is now closed at Cataract (BNSF Track) for the Foothill “L” Line overpass construction project. Access must be done by way of San Dimas Ave off of Interstate 210 or by way of Arrow Highway off State Route 57 and then to San Dimas Ave. Our museum and other businesses may be impacted as traffic in downtown San Dimas is now inhibited.
