Celebrate San Bernardino's Railroad History

November 12, 2010

On November 12, 1885, a freight train from Barstow to San Bernardino came through the finally completed rail line through Cajon Pass. On Saturday, November 13, 2010, BNSF Railway and the San Bernardino History and Railroad Museum invite you to celebrate the 125th anniversary of this first train over the Cajon Pass.

The celebration will be held at the Santa Fe Depot, 1170 W. 3rd Street in San Bernardino. The event starts at 11 a.m. and continues until 3 p.m. There will be locomotives on display, bus tours of the San Bernardino Intermodal facility, tours of Ultra-Low emission Locomotives, food and entertainment. The Museum will be open as well as information booths.

The coming of the railroad was significant in the history of San Bernardino and of the Inland Empire. Don't miss this chance to learn more and to have a really fun day especially since our weather is predicted to be spectacular!
