This Summer your children can enjoy an entire week of constructing a Model Railroad Exhibit! Campers will create the scenery, buildings, and their own freight cars. They will also learn weathering, electrics, trackwork, wiring, and get to go behind the scenes of our museum exhibits! In addition campers will learn about railroad history, culture, and science. We will also take the trolley on a field trip to the San Diego Trolley Yard, as well as the Santa Fe Depot! (more info)

His work has been published in Trains Magazine, Railfan, Locomotive and Railway Preservation, and Vintage Rail, and more than seventy books. He lived in Sacramento, California. A pioneer in railroad photography, Steinheimer lived through and documented the railroads' heyday and their transition to diesel motive power from steam.
