AS WE TRAVEL BACK IN TIME TO 1941 on the Pearl Harbor Troop Train

Ride along as we experience that “Day of Infamy” aboard our vintage railcar and celebrate America, our flag and our freedoms. Participate in our salute to America’s World War II heroes; watch and listen as veterans share the hopes, fears and uncertainty of the times. Honor those men and women who paid the ultimate price for the precious freedoms we often take for granted.

Help us salute our Guests of Honor, the brave Veterans who were there when Pearl Harbor erupted in flames, on December 7th, 1941. This is a rare opportunity to share the personal stories of these brave battle Survivors. Hear it just as they lived it.

These spirited men and women are now in their golden years, and growing fewer in numbers, daily. Sadly, we are now losing our WWII Veterans at the rate of 1165 a day! That means, the WWII era is quickly coming to an end. This is your opportunity to join us as we honor these wonderful patriots, to thank them for the freedoms we enjoy today.

This patriotic excursion is dedicated to all WWII veterans and those who served on the home-front. They demonstrated courage, strength of character and determination to win, while serving and sacrificing in their fight to defend freedom and our Republic. These are our Heroes.

Relive the styles and trends through the always popular and colorful WWII re-enactors, portraying civilian and military personnel of the 1940s era. Their vintage civilian attire and authentic military uniforms help to enrich the theme and delight the passengers.
You’ll love the personal narratives of the historic individuals they portray.

    This was a trip of a lifetime! Through the reenator’s costumes, the 40′s music, entertainment, dancing, stories, decor, dining and old fashioned beverages, this wartime themed event was a trip back to Christmas time, 1941 and WWII.

    And to those elderly veterans who shared their sometimes emotional war stories, we thank you for your service to God and country.

    What a wonderful day to honor our wonderful patriotic WWII Generation.

    Bless those dedicated folks who organized and produced this grand event.

    Hope to ride again soon.
