Fairplex Garden Railroad

Like everyone in California, the Fairplex Garden Railroad has been deeply affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. After participating in the very successful STEAM 2020 technology fair, we were asked by Fairplex Administration to stop all visitations or activities at the railroad on March 12, 2020.

This continued until July, 2020 when Fairplex allowed a crew of four volunteers access for maintenance on Wednesdays from 8 AM to noon. Volunteers were met in the parking lot and underwent screening for Covid-19. It took volunteers about 4 weeks to completely clear the layout of the major weeds and unwanted growth.

At this time, we are still working with limited volunteers although we hope to be allowed more workers in the future. We have started some maintenance projects primarily from projects tabled from 2019.

In late April, Fairplex started acting as an emergency intake site, housing migrant children who entered the United States from Mexico. (https://abc7.com/pomona-fairplex-migrant-children-border-mexico/10563479/) Facilities for this program are adjacent to our layout so access to our exhibit is restricted to a few volunteers. There are no current or future plans for public visitations, public shows, or even larger events for volunteers. We will continue to plan activities as per Fairplex guidelines.

Please check back with us for new updates, current information and news about future activities. In the meantime, 

we are currently updating our web page

so please check back frequently for updates.

We look forward to the future and the hope of seeing our friends and visitors again!
