Free Train Rides – Goathill Junction Railroad (OCME)
📅 Sunday, March 22, 2026 · 10 AM📍 Costa Mesa, published
The Orange County Model Engineers open Goathill Junction Railroad every third weekend of the month for free public train rides through Fairview Park in Costa Mesa. Hop aboard one of their beautifully maintained miniature trains for a scenic 12–15 minute ride — no cost, just donations appreciated. Kids must be at least 31 inches tall and able to walk to ride. With over 600,000 rides given since 2002, this beloved OC tradition is a must for train-loving families.
