A & M Railroad Open Day

In conjunction with the 2025 Central Coast Railroad Festival, the A & M Railroad will host an open day for enjoyment of the general public.

The A & M Railroad consists of two separate large-scale layouts. The original layout has been reconfigured into an 80-ft. oval featured in the center of the garden. In 2021, following 16 months of construction, the new 193-ft. triple main line was completed. This impressive layout is raised 30 inches from ground level for ease of operation and viewing. All three lines cross an arch top drawbridge allowing operators to access the center of the layout. Kit and kit-bashed structures, details and figures are distributed throughout creating unique scenes to delight visitors.

Not open to the public since 2023, the A & M Railroad is a must see on your garden railroad tour in northern Santa Barbara County!
