Hi Jon. I worked at a museum a few years ago. It can be a lot of fun, even when you get bombarded with questions that run the full gamut of the subject spectrum. When people find that you work/volunteer there, they might assume that you know everything under th sun regarding railroads.
This really belongs in the Rail Museums or Events board.

The fair is at the Pomona Fair Grounds. They have a really nice collection of locomotives and rolling stock there.
I think the gate is 11 or maybe 14? Haven't been there in a while, but ask where to park for the "big" trains. The people working there don't seem to realize what you want to see until you mention "big" trains. Maybe this is because there is also a nice garden (G scale) layout there too.
