Central Coast Railroad Festival For several years, the SLOMRA has  helped support and participate in the  CCRF in many different ways. We have  had operating model trains at Farmer’s  Market in downtown SLO, to hosting a  car building clinic at the city library for  kids, to having a free show at the  Oceano Depot.  The CCRRF is designed to attract the  attention of avid and casual rail fans as  well as curious folks from across the  Western United States. It presents  historical, educational and recreational  events for local citizens, the area's  large population of second home  owners and visitors.   The visibility of all local rail entities as  well as railroading in general is  elevated and enhanced by the Festival.  A cooperative spirit is developed  among all participating organizations to  promote their mutual well being and to  expand interest in all things rail!  For more information, visit their site:  CCRRF.com
