We will meet in Fullerton at the Train Depot at 9:45 AM and leave at 9:54 AM on Metrolink to Union Station.

After lunch passengers can tour any of the 5 free museums that make up La Puebla Historic Monument- the original village that established Los Angeles- including Sepulveda House, The Chinese American Museum and Avila Adobe; they can shop in Olvera Street, or they can return to the train festival in Union Station across the street- the 5th Annual National Train Day, a celebration of trains which will run until 4:00 p.m.
The event will feature live entertainment, interactive exhibits, culinary demonstrations, kids’ activities, model trains, tours of Amtrak, freight and commuter trains, and private railroad cars. Walk through privately owned, luxury railcars. Explore commuter displays, rail passenger services and freight equipment displays showing how “green” locomotives transform the nation’s freight fleet. Take a closer look at miniature masterpieces and marvel at the wonder of the model train displays that will be featured on-site. Interact with Amtrak Security K-9 Units, one of the largest programs in the United States. Explore the future of high speed rail travel.
