Wedding Train Excursion

 
Elizabeth and Jerry plan to get married soon. Simple and quietly, likely at the Alameda City Hall. But we're having a rolling wedding reception! Trump's proposed budget cuts all funds for long-distance AMTRAK trains, so this type of trip may be impossible in the future.

To celebrate, we've chartered two private railroad cars for a weekend trip to Los Angeles. They will be hooked up to the rear of Amtrak's Coast Starlight on Friday, July 28th (South-bound) at Jack London Square in Oakland. Be there at 8:30 AM. And on Sunday, July 30 16th (North--bound) from Los Angeles Union Station. You can ride the railroad either way or both. Look forward to much fun on the trips and in Los Angeles. Note that round-trips may not be available for all.

This website will be updated often, so check it. email us at wagner@ourtoolbox.com to let us know if you can attend and which railroad legs you would like. Here are our two rail cars hooked up as they will be in July 2017 -- on the tail of the Coast Starlight. Both are Vista Dome cars that served on the original California Zephyr from 1949 until 1971.
