I take it you mean "Perris"? Enjoy, they have lots of neat stuff there. If you get a chance ride one of the trains from the museum to downtown Perris.

All I can remember, is that there was a Steamer that, at the time was the size of a sky scraper, thats how small I was, I think 4 or 5, that, and a sign with a photo of a School Bus that was hit by a Train, and a very blury memory of some sort of hanger or huge storage facility with old Trains inside,, the rest is, ummm, I cant remember, well, mabey seeing whats in there will bring back something I can remember, besides riding the Train with Santa

These posts should be in one of the other forums (museums)

I-215, in Perris, south of Riverside.
It is the Orange Empire Railway Museum
If you go the weekend of April 24-25 they will have a lot of the trains running.

Here is the web site that has detailed directions

I thought you were going to Paris, France.

I thought perhaps you meant Paris, Ontario (on the CN line between Toronto and London - Ontario, that is.) Of course, there is no yard to speak of in Canada's Paris and the VIA trains don't stop there. But still, one can say that it is possible to travel on a train between London and Paris without going through a tunnel.
