OERM & ATSF3751

So, last weekend was the only train event weekend of May that we ended up being able to go to. (Sometimes life just gets in the way of having fun!). We could not celebrate Mother's Day on Mother's Day...so we celebrated the following Saturday instead. Saturday was comprised of T-ball in the morning and then off to the Bombshelter at the Perris Air Field for lunch and then to OERM. We invited my in-laws to go with us. This was their 2nd time going to the museum...the first was for Nicholas's 3rd birthday. Nicholas loved showing them around and giving them a taste of what he loves so very much. The whole time we were there, we were also keeping track of the Twitter page of the ATSF3751 to see where they were at on their trip. We were able to get to see the 3751 going through Cajon pass, but it was dark and you couldn't see much. Will have to pay attention for the next time we see her out. I have not uploaded pictures yet from the weekend, so I need to get on that!

A lot of Upcoming Railroad events for May 2012!

May is going to be one busy month with railroading events that are great to take kids to! Saturday & Sunday May 5-6, 2012 - Fullerton Railroad Days - The SF3751 is supposed to be there! We watched the locomotive go by a couple weekends ago in route to and from San Bernardino. We caught it at the Fullerton Station as well as the Claremont Station. Looking forward to being able to see it again. Sunday May 6, 2012 - Antique Truck Show at Orange Empire Railway Museum. We went to this event last year and it was so great to see all the antique trucks/vehicles posing next to the trains. Cool event not to miss! Saturday May 12, 2012 - National Train Day at Union Station - We never miss an opportunity to go to Union station to see their display. Usually because the SF3751 is housed there, so we are always hoping to see her out and about :) We will take the metrolink to union station to give us even more time with trains! Makes for a great day of adventure. Saturday & Sunday May 19-20, 2012 - RailFest at Orange Empire Railway Museum - Cannot wait for this event. :) Always look forward to going to see our friends at the museum. Do you think Nicholas will be tired of all these events in May? I think not! :) If you ever see an event that is going on in So. Cal or neighboring states, please let us know!
