Grizzly Flats Railroad.

It's a large rail museum with several buildings that may be open or not open, depending on volunteer availability. The large collection of streetcars includes Los Angeles' Pacific Electric now defunct streetcar line. Rides are available on most weekends. There is also a Fred Harvey exhibit and Grizzly Flats.

Orange Empire Railway Museum

I'm a model rail road enthusiast -- don't miss this stop. We were lucky enough to find a tour that was going on, and had a great docent. Large inventory of rolling stock, great renovations of old equipment.
