Saturday the 10Th, see 3751 in LA. Take Metrolink and bike and ride the trains at Riverside Live Steamers. Sunday go to the train show in Pomona. Sounds like a fun weekend coming up too me.

I was able to decipher the schedule on their site a little, but I'm still scratching my head in some areas. Has anyone been able to fully understand it and would they care to share it with those that aren't fully sure about it?

Here is how I see it.

The Old Cars will come on 564 south, and then go back up to Los Angeles on 571. Then they will come back down on 580 to San Diego, then go back up on 591. That's how I see it. They put many schedules on there, for different options for people. Hope this can help out.
