Return to the March 2008 Issue

On Saturday, January 5, 2008 several members took the train to Sacramento for The World's Greatest Hobby on tour show. Here are a few photos from the day out. Photos by Bob Johnson, except as noted.

Due to some logistical difficulties, I missed the first train on the way up, so I arrived at the show somewhat late. And I did not get any photos of the show. Around 12:00, Andy, Jim, Lee and I headed for Old Sacramento for lunch with pouring rain enroute. When we reached the Amtrak station, a several hours late (weather delayed) southbound Coast Starlight was being fueled prior to continuing on to Los Angeles. When on schedule the Starlight is in Sacramento around 6:30 AM.
