Railroadiana Fall Swap Meet

Calling all little train fans and treasure hunters! The Railroadiana Fall Swap Meet rolls into the Southern California Railway Museum in Perris on Saturday, October 24, 2026, turning the museum grounds into Southern California’s largest outdoor marketplace for railroad collectibles.

Families can wander rows of vendor tables piled with toy trains, scale models, vintage signs, books, art and railroad antiques, then chat with historians and preservationists who love sharing stories about the region’s railway past. It’s a treasure hunt and a history lesson rolled into one sunny morning.

Want to ride the rails, too? Add an unlimited trolley ride upgrade to your ticket, and watch for NCTD Coaster 2105, one of the museum’s newer locomotives. Premium cab rides on the 2105 and upgraded caboose rides are offered as first-come, first-served add-ons for ticket holders. Some vendors pack up before closing time, so arriving early gives your family the best selection.
