  • 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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

      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! 🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃

      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!

    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.

    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.
