Pacifica Historical Society Unveils Newly Restored Model of the Ocean Shore Railroad

June 27th, 2021 @ 2:00pm - 5:00pm

Imagine the Ocean Shore: Take a trip up to Pacifica on Sunday to see the Pacifica Historical Society unveil a model of history that is a bit of history itself.

The nonprofit reopens after 15 months of pandemic hibernation to resume its usual schedule, open from 1 to 4 p.m. Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.

Volunteers have been cleaning the 111-year old Little Brown Church which serves as the museum at 1850 Francisco Blvd.

The historical society plans a soft opening at 2 p.m. on Sunday, June 27, and will unveil the newly restored 20-year-old model of the Ocean Shore Railroad, which is a delight.

Help Us Restore the only existing OSRR Passenger Car to its former glory. Over 100 years ago, the motto was: “It reaches the Beaches!”

Years ago, the Pacifica Historical Society saved the historic Little Brown Church.  Built in 1910, the building serves today as the home of the Pacifica Coastside Museum.  

Our current project is the restoration of the Ocean Shore Railway Car #1409. 

For the indefinite future, we are soliciting donations to be specifically targeted for the restoration of the  Ocean Shore Railway Car #1409.  This is a BIG project, but we are determined to get it finished during the next couple of years. 

In December 2019, we moved the car next to Guerrero’s Taqueria, and behind the

Vallemar Station Restaurant, near the intersection of Reina del Mar and RT #1. 

For the history of the Ocean Shore RR, and the 

current progress on restoring car 1409, go to www.oceanshorerailroad.org
