@@transcendentalidiot3321 You’re welcome! Isn’t it fun to discover things in our own backyard?! I moved in March and am especially in that mode, and keep hearing about special places tucked away in my little town. Love it!
This was very enjoyable to watch from start to finish. As a railfan for over 60 years, I have to say its great to see young people involved in the restoration of the trains of yesteryear.
@@gmpny3945 your comment just made me smile. And agreed, I thought it was so great that these two highschoolers spend their weekends preserving history and restoring train cars, volunteering at this museum. Thank you for watching the entire episode and thank you so much for your thoughtful words.
I've got to hand it to you Lisa, you've really got a talent for getting people to open up. That young man seemed a little shy and reserved at first but 60 seconds later he was quite the talker! AND he couldn't tell you enough! Well done! And thanks for bringing us along!
Thank you, Wayne. He and his friend were a blessing. I had quite a drive to get there / traffic on a Saturday morning... and then upon arrival, got happily distracted by the trains going by, as you saw LOL. So, I arrived exactly at the end of the open house, when folks were clearly ready to get on with their day. The other members there hardly even acknowledged me and wanted to send me on my way immediately. I was thankful that Alex was personable and happy to do a quick tour with me. He was on point with what he shared, and did a great job mentioning the open house days / hours and taking about ten minutes to capitalize on an opportunity to promote the museum. Glad they're getting such nice comments on here, which I'm sure they'll enjoy reading : )
Oh gosh : ) I love that my channel connected with you and was able to surprise you with a new SoCal train spot! Thanks for joining our train community here : )

Fullerton has always been a great train watching spot, I grew up about a mile from there and we used to pick up our grandmother at the train station. That was back before Amtrak, back in the days of the classic Santa Fe warbonnet F units. I don’t live as close anymore but I still try to visit a couple of times a year. You’re guaranteed to see 5 or 6 trains an hour anytime day or night. I’ve never been there when the museum was open though. Guess I’ll have to get up early on a Saturday sometime.
@@jamesrea329 exactly! I had a bit of a drive, and with it being early on a Saturday, LA traffic, etc., and then getting distracted by all the trains going by, I didn’t make it to the museum itself until it was basically closing, on the dot.
@@paulmonce7625 I met a couple ladies who work there at the national train show… not sure if you saw that episode? Other folks have also raved about that museum. In fact, I just saw one of my best friends in San Francisco last week and he stopped at that museum on his road trip across the country. I would love to collaborate with the Durango Silverton and get back to Colorado. Thank you for the recommendation.
@@paulmonce7625 I would love to make it there, and for a wintery ride on the Durango Silverton. Also interested in a ride there during another season, stopping for one of those horse ranch experiences they offer on their website.
What ,a beautiful lady, wow, a ball of enthusiasm and sweet on my eyes 👀 thanks for the train vlog, thanks BigAl California, praise Jesus Christ grace amen 🙏
Where, Lisa? Where? Where have you been that I'm only now just coming across your content? I grew up around trains. I LOVE trains! Glad that I stumbled across you. I enjoyed this, especially the music. Terrific stuff! Nicely done. Thank you for bringing us along.
Your RUclips handle cracks me up. And your comment made me smile. I’ve been doing freelance media production and performing for about 20 years, but I only started Train talk with Lisa May 30 of this year. Glad you stumbled across my channel, as well.🤗 and thanks so much for the comment on the music. I license music from epidemic sound and usually put a link so that people can listen to my soundtracks for free, in the video description. I think song choices make a big impact… and I love music… and dancing!
@@LisaKEntertainment Yeah, there's an actual story behind my handle. Well I'm glad you popped up, believe me. I'm a musician myself. My voice is my instrument. Whether I'm writing or just doing my everyday things, music is a very vital part of my life. When I'm writing a scene, music sets the tone. Yeah, I can tell you love to dance. You've got that certain energy that just conveys that attitude. I LOVE dancing. Can't help it. It's in the soul. Put on a good rhythm and my feet come alive.

Really great video, Lisa. Nice railroading boots. Just got back from an Amtrak train vacation to Portland and back to sacramento. You should do a video on OUR train museum in Old Town. 🚂
Those are all places on my radar. I literally had a conversation yesterday about old town and have been thinking about taking the starlight up to Seattle next year and the Sacramento museum also needs to happen.
@@LisaKEntertainment please take my first comment as a compliment. Very attractive woman with an technical interest. Right down my alley. Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
@@LisaKEntertainment I live in Rostock up in the north of Germany. If you ever do a cruise on the Baltic Sea you might have a stop here. It’s way different to what most people have in mind when thinking about Germany.
@@douglasstrother6584 Yes! It’s name is now the Southern California Railway Museum, and I take it you have been there?! Great spot. I shot four episodes there. The sizzling, summer episodes, and that one of Ward Kimball’s collection. I’m guessing you’ll enjoy those and I’m glad you found my channel. Always appreciate recommendations from folks, so thank you.
@@LisaKEntertainment yea it is very interesting .I'm fascinated with the area because it was spooky back in the day .and in deep woods now it's got houses nearby.
I think you intended on paying me a compliment, so thank you, and that's neat you worked for the UP : ) I don't think, however, that people listen to me merely because some think I'm "quite attractive..." and would hope men don't only "listen" to women they find attractive. I think people respond well to kindness and respect, to sincere questions... and listening. To empathy. To warmth and positivity. I know I do : )
Wow, Lisa, you created an awesome video here! I didn’t know Fullerton has had a train museum open to the public since 2008. Is it located next to the train station or nearby? I wonder if Craig Martyn, the founder and president of the former model train company “BLMA Models” (Best Little Models Around) had anything to do with helping to start this museum? His company was based in Fullerton just a block or two from the train station. His model train business thrived in Fullerton around the same time that this museum first opened its doors. Craig’s an ardent, hands-on train enthusiast very much like Jason Shron, the founder and owner of the renowned model train company called Rapido Trains. Jason actually acquired a real-world railroad passenger car that he incorporated inside the building of Rapido Trains’ world headquarters in Markham, Ontario, Canada. In a similar fashion, I wouldn’t be surprised if Craig also assisted with founding and acquiring real-world trains for this Fullerton museum. He seems like the kind of train fanatic that could have done this. Anyway, this remains only speculation on my part. But today Craig no longer works in the model train business because in early 2016 he sold BLMA Models to Atlas Model Railroad Company in Hillside, New Jersey. Atlas totally absorbed the BLMA brand into its own line of model train products, leaving Fullerton without its own model train manufacturer anymore. I also grew up in Orange County (in Tustin, not too far southeast from Fullerton) during the ’60s and ’70s. Back then I enjoyed watching Santa Fe trains that still served citrus packing houses in the area. I even rode aboard Santa Fe’s shiny silver San Diegan passenger train from Santa Ana to Los Angeles sometime around 1965 when I was about 5 years old. I could tell you some amazing history about how glorious trains were in Orange County then. Today I reside in San Diego, rich with its own railroad history and a fabulous model railroad museum in Balboa Park. - from Thomas Lincoln Pilling
@@ATSFVentaSpurNscaler it’s right beside the train station 🤗 So glad this helped you discover a fun new spot! Thanks for watching and for your thoughtful comment!
@@LisaKEntertainment I don’t recall a train museum over there. I don’t over to Old Town very often nowadays. When I went there a few years ago, I remember going into a model train shop there or something like that. Is that what you are talking about?
Wow - so much in your writing above.. so much history - so many stories. A couple bought a very small model train museum when it was about to go under, and had it open for a bit... but seems it closed in recent years before I could get there. Looked like a neat spot. There is a guy in the train club at Balboa Park who follows my channel and has reached out about getting down there to film at the museum.. And I recently joined a FB group for folks to post historic photos. It's been SO neat! Lots of railroad tracks and trolleys in the LA area... so many familiar places - that don't look familiar at all.
Love the intro music. You're quite pretty. Think might be my favorite railfan channel. You're sweet too because he doesn't know you probably know what he's telling you.
@@TheGrover1968 nice to hear you like that intro music. So much of an episode comes together with the musical choices, and I appreciate having peoples feedback on what resonates with them.
@@TheGrover1968 and I love hearing that this might be your favorite railfan channel! there’s lots on here already, and the new episode coming on Friday 🤗🚂🎬
@LisaKEntertainment Yes, Jaw Tooth is my favorite "just film trains passing" type channel. I used like to watch Shoestring but, he had a sad passing .But, yours has a t.v. show feel. Your editing is really good, too.
@@TheGrover1968 Thank you so much. I've been editing for a couple of decades and have an entertainment background, so I do approach this as an unscripted series - that happens to be on RUclips at the moment : )
This looks like such a cool little place! I just discovered your channel and gave you a subscribe. Keep up the great videos! Greetings from Chicago, IL.
Awww, thank you for subscribing : ) And I'm so glad you discovered my channel. I was in Chicago a couple years ago and had such a great time! Thank you for your encouraging words, and I'd be curious what your favorite episodes are on here.
@@kensingtonchapp4819 Did you wave?! I was the only female rainfan filming, around 11:45am until 12:30pm or so… don’t recall when I left. I love this! So glad you found me on here. I definitely have shots of the BNSF going by!
@LisaKEntertainment I did wave haha. My conductor and I were surprised because we don't see many female railfans. And yes that would've been about the time I went through on my way to Barstow. Small world haha
@ did you watch this entire episode? Pretty sure that I caught your wave on camera. Although I also have some footage that I was saving for another episode…
@@LisaKEntertainment I'm going to watch all of it when I get home from work. It's always fun to see myself randomly on someone's channel haha. I'm on a bunch of railfan videos going up and down Cajon Pass and someone caught me running a train through San Juan Capistrano on my way out of San Diego a few years ago haha.
@ you made me curious if I was remembering a different video or location, but I just looked! You stopped, opened your window and waved, and I responded 🤗🚂 :38
Ah, somebody stole my thunder!! I dig pretty ladies in boots too........😍 I'm surprised Fullerton doesn't have a Virtual Railfan camera installation yet - there certainly seems to be enough traffic to warrant one!
@@PaulMcElligott I love that, Paul! Do you still live in the area? Have you been to a lot of the places featured in my episodes? I’ve filmed at the Flagstaff depot and the North Carolina transportation, museum, and there’s a cameo of a little train in Mexico City in one of my episodes, but a lot so far has been in California, where there are tons of train events and stations and museums and happenings.
Great video and enjoy your enthusiasm! Also great to see young people involved. So much to learn and pass along. In the spirit of more info, the cabooses were eliminated to cut labor and equipment maintenance costs. True there a level of automation now, but nothing beats human eyes and ears… I wouldn’t be surprised if they returned someday in the future to reduce liability/loss.
Good question. Fullerton is just south east of Los Angeles, near Anaheim, where Disneyland is. It’s an orange county, which is below Los Angeles County.
@LisaKEntertainment Thanks! We vacationed in the San Diego area two summers ago, just curious to know how close we got! Yes, we did get to the San Diego Model Railroad Museum!
@@LisaKEntertainment My first time there was when I went on a field trip when I was much smaller. My most recent trip there was on my birthday last April. When ever you get a chance go check it out. I'll be looking forward to that video when or if you do go 👍.

@@davidgrenis638 hmmm… that is enticing. Have you watched my episode, take a ride with me, at the southern California Railway museum? I think you might like that one.
@@govideo6706 If you come during the open house hours, you can tour the interiors - and film, if you’d like - as far as know 🤗 Perhaps I will return at some point after they have their new car, and do an interior tour…
I don't mind you talking about trains, Lisa. However, I really object to the obvious "Yes, there are trains here, but look at ME!!!" promotion of your videos. Do you really think you'd have as many views if you didn't show us what you look like? IMHO, we're seeing far too much of this in both prototype and model railroading lately. Trains generally aren't sexy. They're nerdy, family and cool for sure; but titillating and fashionable..., nope.
No one person has the authority to define railroading or how it is allowed to be depicted creatively. And I wonder how many of my episodes you've actually watched, as I'm not exactly like a bikini model in a sports car calendar - although I have modeled and love classic cars. I have, in fact, twenty years of high level media production and performing experience that I bring to my series, which oftentimes includes me inviting others to tell their stories on-camera. Do you think that since I film train related entertainment, I should only showcase "nerdy" men, "families" or possibly un"fashionable" women? In my on-camera moments and in the comments on here, I enjoy connecting with my community. And the energy of my channel and that which generally resides here in the comments, is a stark contrast to the energy which you have introduced. This work I do is something you chose to watch, is free to you - and is something you can opt out of without bringing such a comment to this otherwise positive space. There is plenty of alternate train content on RUclips... or you can continue to make more of your own videos in a way that brings you joy.
If you don’t like her vids don’t watch them, this hobby needs all the help it can get. There is not a lot of interest with younger generations We need someone like Lisa to spread the word

That was back before Amtrak, back in the days of the classic Santa Fe warbonnet F units. I don’t live as close anymore but I still try to visit a couple of times a year. You’re guaranteed to see 5 or 6 trains an hour anytime day or night. I’ve never been there when the museum was open though. Guess I’ll have to get up early on a Saturday sometime.
@@jamesrea329 exactly! I had a bit of a drive, and with it being early on a Saturday, LA traffic, etc., and then getting distracted by all the trains going by, I didn’t make it to the museum itself until it was basically closing, on the dot.
@@jamesrea329 really cool to hear about how the station used to be years ago and the story with your grand grandmother.
All those ages groups working to get her..Nice job Boots!
@@paradiddlediddle8630 Thanks! 👢👢 And yes! Love they they’re a multi-generational group passing down / up skills and working together 🤗
Lisa, if you are ever in Colorado, visit the Colorado Railroad Museum.
@@paulmonce7625 I met a couple ladies who work there at the national train show… not sure if you saw that episode? Other folks have also raved about that museum. In fact, I just saw one of my best friends in San Francisco last week and he stopped at that museum on his road trip across the country. I would love to collaborate with the Durango Silverton and get back to Colorado. Thank you for the recommendation.
@@LisaKEntertainment Hope to you see someday with us at the Colorado Railroad Museum.
@@paulmonce7625 I would love to make it there, and for a wintery ride on the Durango Silverton. Also interested in a ride there during another season, stopping for one of those horse ranch experiences they offer on their website.
What ,a beautiful lady, wow, a ball of enthusiasm and sweet on my eyes 👀 thanks for the train vlog, thanks BigAl California, praise Jesus Christ grace amen 🙏
@@alkennedy1124 you’re welcome, and thanks for appreciating my enthusiasm - it’s not exactly subtle😂
Where, Lisa? Where? Where have you been that I'm only now just coming across your content? I grew up around trains. I LOVE trains! Glad that I stumbled across you.
I enjoyed this, especially the music. Terrific stuff! Nicely done. Thank you for bringing us along.
Your RUclips handle cracks me up. And your comment made me smile. I’ve been doing freelance media production and performing for about 20 years, but I only started Train talk with Lisa May 30 of this year. Glad you stumbled across my channel, as well.🤗 and thanks so much for the comment on the music. I license music from epidemic sound and usually put a link so that people can listen to my soundtracks for free, in the video description. I think song choices make a big impact… and I love music… and dancing!
@@LisaKEntertainment Yeah, there's an actual story behind my handle.
Well I'm glad you popped up, believe me. I'm a musician myself. My voice is my instrument. Whether I'm writing or just doing my everyday things, music is a very vital part of my life. When I'm writing a scene, music sets the tone.
Yeah, I can tell you love to dance. You've got that certain energy that just conveys that attitude. I LOVE dancing. Can't help it. It's in the soul. Put on a good rhythm and my feet come alive.
Hi Lisa & Train Crew - Hi from Michigan - Cool tour! 🚂

Really great video, Lisa. Nice railroading boots. Just got back from an Amtrak train vacation to Portland and back to sacramento. You should do a video on OUR train museum in Old Town. 🚂
Those are all places on my radar. I literally had a conversation yesterday about old town and have been thinking about taking the starlight up to Seattle next year and the Sacramento museum also needs to happen.
And thanks for the comment on my boots☺️👢
Great times working there

Have you been to the Orange Empire Railroad Museum in Perris?
@@douglasstrother6584 Yes! It’s name is now the Southern California Railway Museum, and I take it you have been there?! Great spot. I shot four episodes there. The sizzling, summer episodes, and that one of Ward Kimball’s collection. I’m guessing you’ll enjoy those and I’m glad you found my channel. Always appreciate recommendations from folks, so thank you.

@@LisaKEntertainment yea it is very interesting .I'm fascinated with the area because it was spooky back in the day .and in deep woods now it's got houses nearby.
Nice lisa 😊
Thank you, Ray : )
I am retired from the Union Pacific. Nice to hear you talking about trains. People listen because you are easy to look at. You are quite attractive.
I think you intended on paying me a compliment, so thank you, and that's neat you worked for the UP : ) I don't think, however, that people listen to me merely because some think I'm "quite attractive..." and would hope men don't only "listen" to women they find attractive. I think people respond well to kindness and respect, to sincere questions... and listening. To empathy. To warmth and positivity. I know I do : )
Wow, Lisa, you created an awesome video here! I didn’t know Fullerton has had a train museum open to the public since 2008. Is it located next to the train station or nearby?
I wonder if Craig Martyn, the founder and president of the former model train company “BLMA Models” (Best Little Models Around) had anything to do with helping to start this museum? His company was based in Fullerton just a block or two from the train station. His model train business thrived in Fullerton around the same time that this museum first opened its doors. Craig’s an ardent, hands-on train enthusiast very much like Jason Shron, the founder and owner of the renowned model train company called Rapido Trains. Jason actually acquired a real-world railroad passenger car that he incorporated inside the building of Rapido Trains’ world headquarters in Markham, Ontario, Canada. In a similar fashion, I wouldn’t be surprised if Craig also assisted with founding and acquiring real-world trains for this Fullerton museum. He seems like the kind of train fanatic that could have done this. Anyway, this remains only speculation on my part.
But today Craig no longer works in the model train business because in early 2016 he sold BLMA Models to Atlas Model Railroad Company in Hillside, New Jersey. Atlas totally absorbed the BLMA brand into its own line of model train products, leaving Fullerton without its own model train manufacturer anymore.
I also grew up in Orange County (in Tustin, not too far southeast from Fullerton) during the ’60s and ’70s. Back then I enjoyed watching Santa Fe trains that still served citrus packing houses in the area. I even rode aboard Santa Fe’s shiny silver San Diegan passenger train from Santa Ana to Los Angeles sometime around 1965 when I was about 5 years old. I could tell you some amazing history about how glorious trains were in Orange County then. Today I reside in San Diego, rich with its own railroad history and a fabulous model railroad museum in Balboa Park.

@@ATSFVentaSpurNscaler it’s right beside the train station 🤗 So glad this helped you discover a fun new spot! Thanks for watching and for your thoughtful comment!
@@ATSFVentaSpurNscaler I was disappointed to see that the museum in Old Town seems to have closed🚂 : (
@@LisaKEntertainment You’re welcome Lisa. Btw, I DM'd you on Instagram today, too.
@@LisaKEntertainment I don’t recall a train museum over there. I don’t over to Old Town very often nowadays. When I went there a few years ago, I remember going into a model train shop there or something like that. Is that what you are talking about?
Wow - so much in your writing above.. so much history - so many stories. A couple bought a very small model train museum when it was about to go under, and had it open for a bit... but seems it closed in recent years before I could get there. Looked like a neat spot. There is a guy in the train club at Balboa Park who follows my channel and has reached out about getting down there to film at the museum..
And I recently joined a FB group for folks to post historic photos. It's been SO neat! Lots of railroad tracks and trolleys in the LA area... so many familiar places - that don't look familiar at all.
Cool
WE were just there!

Oh my gosh!!!!!!!! I LOVE that! I missed you by about a week or two.
Lisa, you are beautiful and really amazing ❤❤
Love the intro music. You're quite pretty. Think might be my favorite railfan channel. You're sweet too because he doesn't know you probably know what he's telling you.
@@TheGrover1968 nice to hear you like that intro music. So much of an episode comes together with the musical choices, and I appreciate having peoples feedback on what resonates with them.
@@TheGrover1968 and I love hearing that this might be your favorite railfan channel! there’s lots on here already, and the new episode coming on Friday 🤗🚂🎬
@LisaKEntertainment Yes, Jaw Tooth is my favorite "just film trains passing" type channel. I used like to watch Shoestring but, he had a sad passing .But, yours has a t.v. show feel. Your editing is really good, too.
@@TheGrover1968 Thank you so much. I've been editing for a couple of decades and have an entertainment background, so I do approach this as an unscripted series - that happens to be on RUclips at the moment : )
This looks like such a cool little place! I just discovered your channel and gave you a subscribe. Keep up the great videos! Greetings from Chicago, IL.
Awww, thank you for subscribing : ) And I'm so glad you discovered my channel. I was in Chicago a couple years ago and had such a great time! Thank you for your encouraging words, and I'd be curious what your favorite episodes are on here.

@@kensingtonchapp4819 Did you wave?! I was the only female rainfan filming, around 11:45am until 12:30pm or so… don’t recall when I left. I love this! So glad you found me on here. I definitely have shots of the BNSF going by!
@LisaKEntertainment I did wave haha. My conductor and I were surprised because we don't see many female railfans. And yes that would've been about the time I went through on my way to Barstow. Small world haha
@ did you watch this entire episode? Pretty sure that I caught your wave on camera. Although I also have some footage that I was saving for another episode…
@@LisaKEntertainment I'm going to watch all of it when I get home from work. It's always fun to see myself randomly on someone's channel haha. I'm on a bunch of railfan videos going up and down Cajon Pass and someone caught me running a train through San Juan Capistrano on my way out of San Diego a few years ago haha.
@ you made me curious if I was remembering a different video or location, but I just looked! You stopped, opened your window and waved, and I responded 🤗🚂 :38
Ah, somebody stole my thunder!! I dig pretty ladies in boots too........😍
I'm surprised Fullerton doesn't have a Virtual Railfan camera installation yet - there certainly seems to be enough traffic to warrant one!

@@joenichols5253 I haven’t yet! But it’s on my list.
Great video and enjoy your enthusiasm! Also great to see young people involved. So much to learn and pass along. In the spirit of more info, the cabooses were eliminated to cut labor and equipment maintenance costs. True there a level of automation now, but nothing beats human eyes and ears… I wouldn’t be surprised if they returned someday in the future to reduce liability/loss.
I appreciate the added perspective on cabooses. Love when these episodes spark dialogue, more story sharing and learning. Thank you.

Looks like the museum has a good start. For those of us not from SoCal, where exactly is this place?
Good question. Fullerton is just south east of Los Angeles, near Anaheim, where Disneyland is. It’s an orange county, which is below Los Angeles County.
@LisaKEntertainment Thanks! We vacationed in the San Diego area two summers ago, just curious to know how close we got! Yes, we did get to the San Diego Model Railroad Museum!

I don't mind you talking about trains, Lisa. However, I really object to the obvious "Yes, there are trains here, but look at ME!!!" promotion of your videos. Do you really think you'd have as many views if you didn't show us what you look like? IMHO, we're seeing far too much of this in both prototype and model railroading lately. Trains generally aren't sexy. They're nerdy, family and cool for sure; but titillating and fashionable..., nope.
No one person has the authority to define railroading or how it is allowed to be depicted creatively. And I wonder how many of my episodes you've actually watched, as I'm not exactly like a bikini model in a sports car calendar - although I have modeled and love classic cars. I have, in fact, twenty years of high level media production and performing experience that I bring to my series, which oftentimes includes me inviting others to tell their stories on-camera. Do you think that since I film train related entertainment, I should only showcase "nerdy" men, "families" or possibly un"fashionable" women? In my on-camera moments and in the comments on here, I enjoy connecting with my community. And the energy of my channel and that which generally resides here in the comments, is a stark contrast to the energy which you have introduced. This work I do is something you chose to watch, is free to you - and is something you can opt out of without bringing such a comment to this otherwise positive space. There is plenty of alternate train content on RUclips... or you can continue to make more of your own videos in a way that brings you joy.
If you don’t like her vids don’t watch them, this hobby needs all the help it can get. There is not a lot of interest with younger generations
We need someone like Lisa to spread the word
@@mikeregan8894 I absolutely agree. Don't spoil the fun for the rest of us because you don't like something.
