Welcome to the New Format Website
The Cajon Division Website is now under a different format similar to the other Pacific Southwest Regions division's websites. Your website administrator has updated portions of the old website information, but some categories are still under construction and/or updating. I hope that all the near term relevant information has been updated. The Achievement Program, Store, Clubs and Resources (Hobby Stores are updated) are all still a work in progress to clear out obsolete information. If you see something wrong or out of place, let me know. My email address is in the Contact Section...Kurt Matthews, Publications Chair and Webmaster.

The Cajon Division
The Cajon Division with its almost 250 members is one of four divisions in the Pacific Southwest Region of the National Model Railroad Association (NMRA) including the chinook side of the Sierras; Orange, San Bernardino and Riverside Counties in Southern California; and Southern Nevada (Las Vegas). We have been serving modelers and the general public for over 40 years by means of meetings, train shows, special events, our quarterly newsletter, The Order Board, and this website. We seek to promote the hobby to the public, provide assistance to our members, and support educational opportunities involving modeling and railroading in general. We do this through our own meetings, events and through the wonderful resource that must not be forgotten, the Model Railroad clubs in our area.
