IF YOU GO

Reservations must be made three days in advance. Here are more details:

THE TRAIN

The Pacific Southwest Railway Museum, (619) 465-7776), www.psrm.org. Operates trains between Campo, Calif., and Tecate, Mexico, one to two Saturdays a month. Schedules are on the website. Tickets cost $43 for adults and $23 for ages 3 to 12. Book well in advance, trips often sell out. The Campo depot and museum are on California Highway 94, 13 miles south of Interstate 8 (about a 75-minute drive from the junction of I-8 and Interstate 5 in San Diego). Passengers must have an official photo ID to present to U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers upon U.S. reentry; beginning in June, a passport or passport card will be required. (For more information, visit www.cbp.gov and click on "Ready, Set . . . Go!")
