Saturday evening,
3 December, 2010
Come celebrate the Holiday Season aboard the art-deco former Southern Lounge Car #2979 as we travel on the Niles Canyon Railway's annual Train of Lights over the route of the first railroad to enter the Bay Area, from Sunol to Niles and return. Car 2979 has been decorated for the Holiday festivities, recalling an era now only a memory, when rail travel was a truly special occasion.
A light supper will be served at the bar during our journey.
Train departs Sunol at 4.30 p.m., and returns about 5.45 p.m.
FARE: $49.50 which includes lounge seating in SP 2979 and a light supper.
SP 2979 is owned and operated by Golden Gate Railroad Museum, and expertly restored by its volunteer members. Niles Canyon Railway is a project of the Pacific Locomotive Association, a non profit volunteer organization dedicated to interpreting the importance of railroads to the development of California.
This program is just one of the features of our four day Celebrate the Season Holiday rail outing, 2-5 December, 2011.
