The San Bernardino Railroad Historical Society (SBRHS), with presenting partners Los Angeles Union Station, Metro, Metrolink, and Amtrak, will welcome the public to Rail Safety: Los Angeles this September - the largest railroad safety event in downtown Los Angeles in more than a decade, as part of Rail Safety Month.
The SBRHS’ historic, 1927-built steam locomotive, Santa Fe 3751, will headline the two-day event on Track 15 of Los Angeles Union Station on Saturday, September 21, and Sunday, September 22, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily. The 3751 will be joined by some of today’s most modern Metrolink and Amtrak passenger train equipment and information booths, providing a unique educational opportunity for attendees to learn about the size, scale, and speed of trains and learn new ways to be safe around railroad tracks.
“We could not be more excited to bring the message of safety around railroad tracks back to downtown Los Angeles,” said SBRHS Vice President, Alex Gillman. “Southern California is one of the busiest centers of passenger and freight railroad operations in the nation, and promoting safety around the tracks is crucial for all our local communities.”
