Old Poway Park Steam Train

One of the best kept secrets in San Diego County is the little train that runs around Old Poway Park in the quiet town of Poway, California. Poway is located about 23 miles northeast of downtown San Diego. This train runs just about every weekend of the year, with the steam engine running every 1st and 3rd weekend of the month.
Next time you're in the area, stop by. It's worth a visit.

Best place to bring kids & grandkids. Been going here for years...

[@jeffrey6244]

I spent a day there once and had a great time. The park isn't as big as it might appear but it does have several buildings besides the train route and some indoor layouts as well. Poway is bloody hot in the summer though but very pleasant in the winter.

[@gaminghellex6491]

This video don’t need a Oscar, it need a better train.

[@patrickbaca8073]

I checked this railroad out since I’m working in Poway right now. Wish they had a model railroad store lol

[@BCSchmerker]

Poway Midland RxR #3 looks a 0-4-0 Baldwin light commercial switcher, a common type for both standard- and narrow-gauge yards, from the round build plates on the smokebox; Vulcan Machine Works, H. K. Porter & Co., and other builders serviced the private-yard-switcher market. The long cab is similar to that of Mt. Tamalpais & Muir Woods #6, a 0-4-0t H. K. Porter used for streetcar service for two decades at Mill Valley, CA, USA; #6 had a fuel tank at the back of cab, whereas #3 is a tender model with the oil tank seated inside the perimeter water cistern.

That has to be the cutest little steamer I have ever seen!!

[@justinwilliam6534]

That engine’s whistle is the same as Casey Jr’s did you know.

[@1981deloreanfan]

Check out the videos for Edaville Railroad #11. Edaville Railroad #11 and this engine look like fraternal twins.

[@eddybear6402]

Casey Junior got his whistle from here

[@davidarturojaimes691]

What a sympatic train! Regards form Mexico.

[@SierraRailway]

Great video! This locomotive once operated within a few miles of my current hometown, at the Cowell Portland Cement Company Plant near Concord, California. Glad that a piece of my local railroad history has survived; there is little left around here to mark its past importance.

[@punkybauer1]

I hope this is still running. Gonna go there Saturday

[@VT29steamtrain]

Quite similar to Willis engineering's Lil' Lima 2-4-0s eg. various miniature 5" and 7 1/4" gauge were made and one 457mm gauge NRM #6 Bill. Nice vid!

[@CoasterFan2105]

Thanks!

[@VT29steamtrain]

Thank you so much! This is one of my favourite steam locomotive videos! What gauge is the railway and what class is the engine? Could you go back to the Virginia and Truckee and film 29? Its the most beautiful steam loco ever! Thx for the comment! 🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃

[@CoasterFan2105]

This is a 42 inch gauge railroad. They also have a trolley, a cable car, and a speeder. I am hoping to make it back to the V&T this summer!

[@DillonTrinhProductions]

@@CoasterFan2105 aka cape gauge.

[@brianmolloy9865]

Lovely train and video, thanks for sharing.

[@stephenroberts4895]

Cute little thing that steam engine! Seems like a nice railroad.

[@TommyPicklesFan]

That Train looks like fun to Ride on.

[@choochoodino5200]

agreed!

[@radforddivisionrailfan]

I say, that little engine's whistle sounds extremely similar to Casey Jr. from Disney's dumbo.

[@jotohru9779]

Man, I miss riding on this train.

[@brandonsalas8470]

I was born in Oceanside but lived at Poway and every weekend I would go to that park have a train ride but ever since 2004 or 2005 I dream to ride a train in that park but I leave up over a Sacramento in a 1 1/2 hrs away form Sac. In a town called Lathrop here in California.

[@CoasterFan2105]

+Brandon Salas Well if you ever come back to visit, the steam engine runs the 1st and 3rd weekend of every month from April through December.

[@brandonsalas8470]

CoasterFan2105 thanks for your respond

ashwani sharma what do u mean?

[@Bobcatonline]

An absolutely charming video of a charming railroad. I guess the park is quite big to make the railway worth while. It looks narrow gauge in places. Would that be a meter gauge? It certainly looks good for a day out whether for youngsters or adults, and I love steam! Thanks.

[@CoasterFan2105]

Rob Catt I think this is 42 inch gauge. Thanks!

[@SouthernPacific8984]

CoasterFan2105 Yes it is 42 inch gauge. Known as "bastard narrow gauge."

[@willberestartingthischanne9984]

Nice Video Mike

[@dylanbaker9329]

7:12, where's the whistle from?

[@tlkwss5306]

Do you know when they operate the mine carts? I wanna ride one!

[@CoasterFan2105]

TLK WSS They run them on most weekends now. Saturday is your best bet, because that's typically their busier day.

[@trainfan-ks5hk]

What chime of whistle does it use?

[@khriscamacho1212]

3.5-inch diameter 3 chime lunkenheimer. It has the info engraved on the side of the whistle valve when you go see it.

[@acelakid94]

Reminds me of Duncan. lol

[@davehibbs9111]

It looks like a toy! Neat!

[@MIRaill]

Why is it sunny in December

[@CoasterFan2105]

MI Rail This was filmed in late October, but southern California often has very sunny weather. Even in December, there were very few cloudy days this last year.

[@MIRaill]

[@Buynot]

[@choochoodino5200]

Is it me, or does the train look like it came straight out of a Disney theme park?

[@hymavathypenna7972]

[@Zuiderzee-Lives]

It looks like a little Porter 5 ton that I saw in a museum when I was a kid, does this operation have a website or something? I'd really like to know a bit more about it.

[@CoasterFan2105]

+GT Stang Yes, the website is in the description.
