The Southern California Railway Museum (SCRM, reporting mark OERX[1]), formerly known as the Orange Empire Railway Museum, is a railroad museum in Perris, California, United States. It was founded in 1956 at Griffith Park in Los Angeles before moving to the former Pinacate Station as the "Orange Empire Trolley Museum"[2] in 1958.[3] It was renamed "Orange Empire Railway Museum" in 1975 after merging with a museum then known as the California Southern Railroad Museum, and adopted its current name in 2019.[4] The museum also operates a heritage railroad on the museum grounds.
