UPDATED FOR 2004!

3rd Annual “Pearl Harbor Day, Train of Remembrance”

Saturday, December 4th, 2004
The vintage railcar Overland Trail (and her companion car) will become a commemoration on wheels between Los Angeles and San Diego on December 6th marking the 62 anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor and the USA’s entry into W.W.II.

In honor of Pearl Harbor Day (our commemoration is a day early on Saturday), we'll celebrate America, our flag, and our heroes ... those men and women who fought defending our freedoms, so many making the ultimate sacrifice. We have invited Pearl Harbor Survivors who will share some of their memories from those horrific days.

The vintage railcars will become our time machine transporting us back to the time of that "Day of Infamy". Last year's trip was a moving experience as the invited veterans shared intimate personal stories from their past. As you can imagine, these men and women are now in their 80’s, growing more frail by the day, did you know ... we are losing 1,000 veterans from World War Two a day. Let's honor these men and women, possibly for the last time, for the freedoms we enjoy today.

We dedicate this rail journey as a tribute to the Pearl Harbor Survivors who will be aboard and through them, to all Pearl Harbor and W.W.II veterans, who demonstrated their courage, strength of character and determination serving and sacrificing in our fight to defend freedom and democracy. These are the true Heroes. And ... does not that fight continue today? We thank All Mighty God for His grace and blessing upon our newest veterans of Operation Iraqi Freedom. We will be privileged to honor some of these soldiers aboard our upcoming June 12 "Flag Day" run.

Additionally, adding “color” and authenticity, will be W.W.II re-enactors who will portray military personal from several branches, not to mention our regular staff of authentically uniformed Porters/Waiters, Bartender, Barber, Stewardess and our Conductor.

Please join us as we enjoy together a transportation experience from yesteryear. The only thing missing will be orange groves outside our speeding windows!

Only $98 / person, round trip. Children 11 & under are half-fare..
