Western Railroad Discussion > Fullerton railroad days

Hello,

I was wondering if Fullerton Railroad Days is on in 2017? I would like to go on Metrolink up there and see ATSF3751 and the usual BNSF unit up there. I know it falls on the first weekend of May most of the time. Any info would be appreciated.

Thank you,


Kurt
