Description

This vigorous new annual celebration is beloved by locals and enjoyed by visitors, as the town of Truckee recalls its train town heritage with an event-packed weekend. The fun starts with a hometown standby, the pancake breakfast. There is a handcar derby, followed by historical presentations, Wild West re-enactments and displays of vintage and modern railway cars. Dozens of memorabilia vendors cram the street, and the displays range from the miniature to full-scale engines and cars. Admission is free.
