The
museum's interpretive program aboard Amtrak's Coast Starlight
covers "California's Wonderful Corner," the area between
the cities of Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo.
Museum
guides share the area's colorful history, points of interest,
local sights, and natural history with passengers in a live
presentation in the train's sightseer lounge.
Here
are a few images that represent the tour area and the content
