UPDATE: For those who have responded "GOING" we need to know how many will be in your party. We are very near our full capacity for this tour, so please send us a PM with your information ASAP.Join us for a guided tour of the Summit Railroad Station site in the Cajon Pass, hosted by the Camp Cajon Team with historic narration provided by renown railroad historian Dick Donat.
The Summit site has been a favorite with rail and history fans for decades, and there are still many fascinating sites to see and stories to hear about at the location.
Dick Donat was part of the group of railfans that made Summit and the famous trolley car Descanso, an icon of railfan history. Well-known railfans and historians like Chard Walker and L.T. Gotchy were close associates of Donat's, and he will share his experiences of his time with them at Summit.
The Descanso was moved to Summit in 1940, and it was a famous railfan clubhouse and gathering place until it was moved to Southern California Railway Museum in 1967.
The tour will be limited in size, so respond "GOING" to this invitation ASAP to ensure your place in the group.
