LA Rail’s Vino Train to Santa Barbara

Greetings Santa Fe/Super Chief/Streamliner fans!
May has crept up on us and we only just now realized that our local (Los Angeles) iconic symbol to the incredible and historic streamliner past ... the ACOMA, is about to turn 80!! It was May, 1937 that the new Super Chief made several preview runs and then started her regular service between Dearborn Station, Chicago and Los Angeles Union Passenger Terminal. Shall we have a party?!?

The ACOMA was built in 1937 by Budd Company and was a part of the original lightweight SUPER CHIEF. Of the original 7 passenger cars, only the ACOMA still rides the HIGH IRON (the diner, Cochiti, resides at the Sacramento State Railroad Museum while the Observation, Navajo, is at the Colorado Railroad Museum at Golden). Built as a dorm lounge, the ACOMA also carried a barbershop (later converted by Santa Fe to a stewards room, now a galley). The car never saw Amtrak service and has never been ruined ... its current interior has been lightly refurbished maintaining its "as retired" (1968) appointments and decor.

Help us celebrate the fabulous streamliner era by riding with us from Los Angeles to San Diego and return on May 27. ACOMA will, of course, be on "home rails" for this trip and in fact made many trips between Los Angeles and San Diego in her later days.

The fare: $189.00pp. Includes lunch southbound and light meal w/wine and dessert (cake!) northbound. Also included, celebratory champagne toast at departure!

Schedule: Depart L.A.U.P.T. at 11:20am on train #572. Arrive San Diego at 2:11pm. Enjoy 4+ hours of sightseeing in San Diego, then ... Depart San Diego at 6:50pm on train #591, Arrive LA at 9:35pm. For more information or tickets, contact: ConductorBill@LARail ... See MoreSee Less
