Train rides, vintage rail displays and more from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. today and Monday
After a two-year hiatus, the
returns this weekend to Ardenwood Historic Farm in Fremont with train rides, model trains and railroad exhibits for train lovers of all ages.“Rail Fair is the only time when we bring out our historic railroad car collection from the 1800s. One box car ran through Ardenwood over a century ago and you can actually walk inside and see how it was built,” said Jacque Burgess, event organizer for the Railroad Museum at Ardenwood.
The event is presented by the nonprofit all-volunteer Railroad Museum, and sponsored by the Society for Preservation of Carter Railroad Resources and the East Bay Regional Parks District. For more than 40 years the museum has collected historic railroad cars built in the Bay Area, and proceeds from this event will pay for restoration of the collection.
Tickets are available at the gate, and parking is free. Admission is $12 for adults 18 and over, $10 for seniors, $9 for youths ages 4 to 17 and free for kids 3 and younger.
