The Photo Set includes pictures of Calvary Chapel High School students boarding Bill Hattric’s “Overland Trail” Private Car at the Fullerton Santa Fe Depot and heading to their Winter Formal in San Diego. The “Overland Trail” used to be a Barber Shop Lounge Car that is now available for private charter. The car was placed at the end of a southbound Amtrak San Diegan consist. Thanks goes to Joseph Henchman and Steve Donaldson (co-author of Rails Through the Orange Groves : A Centennial Look at the Railroads of Orange County, California with William A. Myers) for identifying the event and the private rail car for us.
Also shown are photos from the interior of the TrainWeb office upstairs in the Fullerton Santa Fe Depot, including our new Westec Alarm System Panel.
