On Sunday, June 1, Del Mar will have a very special visitor, one that has not been to Del Mar since August 1953. This visitor is the last steam locomotive to pull a Santa Fe passenger train to stop at the old Del Mar station.
The Del Mar Historical Society is sponsoring a gathering from 2-4 pm on the outside patio of The Brigantine restaurant to witness the return of this special Del Mar visitor. The cost is $15.00 for excellent viewing of the northbound steam train and for free finger-food, courtesy of The Brigantine. Also, you will have the opportunity to purchase prints of old photographs from Del Mar's railroad past. There will be a cash bar. Please use the online registration form to make your reservations before 25 May. For more info call 858-794-0029.
