Built in 1966, this Museum was gifted to the City of Lomita the following year by Irene Lewis.
Upon entering the Museum, you are provided a self-guided tour brochure- which is hardly needed since the Museum is relatively small.

From the Museum's website (visit link) :
"Dedicated to the proud era of the steam engine, complete authenticity is the hallmark of the Museum. On display is a Southern Pacific Steam Locomotive (1902-1960) and Tender. Nearby stand a 1910 Union Pacific Caboose and a modern all-steel Santa Fe caboose. On display at the Annex Park are a 1923 Union Oil Tank Car and a 1913 Southern Pacific outside-braced wood box car. Also check out our Water Tower."
