The SILVER SPLENDOR private dome railcar will depart south from Los Angeles at 11:10 AM. Passengers may board at other stops enroute to San Diego such as Fullerton, Anaheim, San Diego and Irvine, but we suggest you take an earlier northbound Amtrak Pacific Surfliner to Los Angeles in order to enjoy the duration of the full round trip from Los Angels to San Diego and back. The scheduled arrival time into San Diego is 1:55 PM.
During the lay over in San Diego from 1:55 PM until 6:20 PM, guests are welcome to tour attractions not for from the Amtrak Station such as tour the USS Midway, Seaport Village, the Star of India, Horton Plaza and many other attractions. There is even plenty of time to hop on the San Diego Red Trolley right from the station and ride up to Old Town San Diego!
While in San Diego those who opt for the $29 per person wine tasting will remain onboard for a tasting of selected wines from Temecula Valley lead by Don Ziehm, the Wine Dept. Manager at Bristol Farms Market in Long Beach. After the wine tasting, guests are welcome to tour nearby San Diego attractions as listed above until departure time.
The SILVER SPLENDOR will depart San Deigo at 6:20 PM for its return trip to Los Angeles. A selection of cakes, pies, cookies and dessert items will be served during the return trip. Those who boarded at other stations along the way may depart at their station of origination. The scheduled arrival time into Los Angeles is 9:05 PM.
The SILVER SPLENDOR, built in 1956 as Chicago, Burlington & Quincy #4735, has just completed a 12-year restoration. Its owners, the Caesteckers, look forward to having you aboard and sharing the experience with you. Please visit LARail.com for more information.
