Wine Rail Excursion to D’Anbino (Paso Robles)
by admin on May.12, 2012, under Amtrak, CCRRF
Lynn and I thoroughly enjoyed a Wine Rail Excursion put on by the Central Coast Railroad Festival. We took the Coast Starlight from SLO, over the grade, to Paso Robles where but a few feet away from the train was our destination winery, D’Anbino. The CCRRF offers these excursions every 2nd Sunday of the month; check their website <CCRRF.com>. Check out this web page for photos and more info: http://ccrrf.com/120512.html
National Train Day at Guadalupe

We had a great day at the Guadalupe Amtrak Station. People were flowing steadily through the caboose, enjoying the displays in the station, and waiting patiently for the Pacific Surfliners to come through.

All Aboard!
The rails of a railroad track are kept shiny on the top by the regular passage of trains. Thus, "To Shiny Rails" is the battle cry of my personal effort to keep railroading activities of all kinds available to as many people as possible. It's tantamount to exclaiming "Keep those trains a rollin'!". And with any luck at all, I'll personally be on as many of those trains as possible! To shiny rails, Jamie
