Pacific Railroad Society’s Excursion No. 561
Two Round Trips on the National Forum, Los Angeles to San Diego
Sunday,November 16, 2025
The National Forum is a 1956 Pullman car owned by Pacific Railroad Society. It has been upgraded to current Amtrak standards and certified by an Independent Amtrak Inspector for speeds upto 110-mph. There very few opportunities to ride a "Private Varnish" railroad car on a mainline railroad at 90-mph, so don't delay, order your tickets today. Experience what it was like to travel in Pullman comfort (first class) in an operating 69-year old railroad car connected to a modern Amtrak train.
