As I'm sure most everybody who frequents these forums is aware by now, Saturday, May 9, 2009 is National Train Day.
To celebrate the occasion here in L.A., local AU member sportbiker (Mark) and myself have cooked up a little riding (quadruple AGR points!)
and dinner excursion from Los Angeles Union Station to Fullerton, and we're inviting all SoCal AU members, guests, and anybody else whooz
interested to join us.
Union Station festivities begin at 10 a.m. Click the link above for details of tours, exhibits, and other cool stuff.
I plan to ride Pacific Surfliner 768 to be on hand early for all the fun, and will be in and around, out and about, here and there, all day except
for maybe a French dip sandwich lunch break down the street at Philippe's.
Train Day observances at Union Station are scheduled to conclude at 3 p.m., but for us the fun won't end there. No sir!
We'll ride Pacific Surfliner 580 (3 p.m. departure) to Fullerton. I'm sure many of us have been THROUGH Fullerton, but doubt many of us have
ever been TO Fullerton. I sure haven't. So the plan is to ride 580 TO Fullerton, which is something of a local railfan Mecca, explore the scene,
and enjoy dinner at The Old Spaghetti Factory, which is right by the station.
After the meal I'll be heading home aboard Surfliner 785, but of course all can make their own homebound arrangements.
It'd be cool for folks who would like to join us to send PMs to me regarding plans and timing (mainly for restaurant reservation purposes), but
it's not absolutely necessary. Just show up and have some fun!
And oh yeah: FREE FEZZES will be available (while supplies last).
