The Los Angeles Live Steamers Railroad Museum (LALSRM), a non profit organization, was started by train enthusiasts in 1956 for the purpose of educating people in railroad history and lore and also to further the avocation of live steam, gas-mechanical and electronic railroad technology. The Museum operates 7½" gauge model trains and also boasts a number of historical railroad cars and a stationary steam plant at its location at Griffith Park. The museum is open to the general public on most Sundays from 11 a.m. - 3 p.m. For more information, visit www.lals.org.
