Yes there is a train service between SD County and Tecate (for brewery tour) run by Pacific Southwest Railway, but a reservation is required to be able to board due to Homeland Security passenger manifest regulations. :evil:

Here is the main website: http://www.sdrm.org/events/tecate/

The available dates to make a reservation are here:

Seems pretty expensive!

A family of 4 could rent a nice suv and include the gas for less I think.

But I bet the scenery is beutiful on the route.....

Are those prices each way or round trip?

They are round trip.

One can take a bus from downtown Tijuana for about 3 or 4 dollars per person each way. The terminal is across from the "Taco Bell, Taco Loco...etc" area off of Calle Primera and Revolución. The bus can be flagged down enroute as well.

Note that this is a tourist excursion between Campo and Tecate, not a commuter train. There isn't any regular train service between Tijuana and anywhere else as far as I know. I lived near the tracks in Zona Rio for a while and almost all the daily trains that pass are gas (not gasoline) coming from the US.
