Sunset Limited 3/9/05


The Fullerton Train Travel Group took a trip from Fullerton to Los Angeles Union Station to board the
Inaugural run of the Amtrak Sunset Limited to Orlando, Florida, leaving at 2:30 p.m., rather than the usual 10:30 p.m., on this day.
We would ride to Palm Springs then get off and return to Fullerton, CA, via limo.
