Enjoy a full day of trains, exhibits and fun for the whole family including a train pulled by our operating steam locomotive, trolleys, and an antique fire engine gathering. New this year will be the HIT Favorites Fun Festival™ starring Barney™, Bob the Builder™, and Angelina Ballerina™! Also a special appearance by Thomas the Tank Engine™!
Now, I can’t speak to the opportunity to see Barney™ or Bob the Builder™, but I have been a member of this place since the mid-1980s, and the family and people here are wonderful. It is a great place to come out and see some California Rail History. Ride a steam train or ride a trolleycar. Explore our car barns and the Middleton Museum. There just is a lot to do, and I’m amazed by the improvement every time I could out to the facility (it is basically all volunteer-run).
By the way, speaking of volunteers… if you are out on Saturday, come find me and say hi. I should be a car attendant on the main line during second and third shifts. I’m pretty sure larymotrmn will be out there as well, but I don’t know his assignments.
If you’re in the San Fernando Valley (or along my route of travel) and want a ride, let me know. I plan to head out in the early morn (my goal is to be out by 8 or before), and to return after my shift ends (i.e., around 630p-700p).
P.S.: If you’re on my friends list, and you’re coming… I can get you $2 off admission. Just drop me a note before I leave and I’ll send you the information.
