Railroad Museum | Visiting with Huell Howser | KCET 

I lived right near Perris for a year, I had no idea, I will go back once the covids go away... Thank you Huell.

Fascinating place. Hard to believe it's been around 25 years since I went there. It was a bit of a drive and well worth it.

My father and I visited the museum many times over the years, the last time being in 2016. My father, my grandparents and my great-grandparents all traveled on the Red Cars and LA Railway cars, not to mention all sorts of trains of yesteryear, during the long years that they lived in the LA area. My grandfather worked for Santa Fe during the first half of the 20th century, so, traveling by train is in my blood. I wish Huell could have been there while we visited the museum. We would've given him a lot of stories to tell about the Red Cars and other trains had he interviewed us.

Huell Howser had some big guns!!

I think everyone loved Huell. Sad, but the only ones who didn't seemed to because of his personal lifestyle. Since he died you can really feel his loss magnified. I always thought he was great at getting people together. I have a cousin who met him years, and years ago at Knots Berry Farm out in Buena Park.

Was there some time ago. great staff and I showed them some pictures of my great grandfather operating cars for the pacific electric

I took my family there in 2013. My son, daughter-in-law, and grandson. That was a good day.😋

Been there a couple of times, years ago

Looking at things in the present day, how many people know that LA once had the largest interurban rail transit system in the country. The powers that be should create a transit system that interconnects all forms of transportation with one another where one form of transport is not emphasized over all the others. That way you really have a comprehensive way of traveling all about anywhere without having to cause so much inconvenience to people trying to get from point A to point B and so forth.

Awesome to see this episode on the Orange Empire Railroad Museum! I sure miss Huell Howser! In case anyone was wondering, this episode originally aired in 2003.

We've visited Orange Empire Railway Museum several times. It's a real SoCal treasure. Huell was such a shining light, irreplaceable.

This was the first episode that I remember watching back in the late 90's , it was on a Friday evening. The wife and I took the kids the next day, we had a really great time; it was amazing!

you think they could have stopped the Horn blowing for 30 minutes lol RIP Huell

My grandma used to take me to this museum when I was a kid. It was such a fascinating place to visit especially when they had train rides going on. So many great memories!

Huell Howser is the best.

Huell Howser such an awesome human being... miss him. May he rest in peace ❤

You need to GO to Steamtown in Scranton PENNSYLVANIA

Wonderful live museum!

Look at the wheelsets at 28:35. They look very different from what you see on today's train cars. I think what you can see on those old wheel sets is called a "Journal box." To railroad people, journal means the "Rotating part of equipment."

I’ve been there! 1986.

6:55 another Huell moment. (Look for others on future episodes)

“Baldwin” If I had one like that I would open a small Cosmetology School & name it “HAIR TRAINS”...I would make a mini house too❤️They’re Beautiful❤️

Fun place!
