  On Saturday, December 4, Truckee-Donner Historical Society and Truckee Donner Railroad Society members joined forces to host the children's railroad that runs through Truckee Donner Recreation and Park District's tract.  The weather was fantastic and the kids and parents were lined up from the station to past the railroad crossing gates for both rides and sign ups.  427 signups and 680 rides (plus or minus).
