Truckee is celebrating its railroad history and the town’s 150th and 20th anniversary’s on June 20 from 5-9pm.

Throughout 2013, Truckee is celebrating 150 years since establishment and 20 years since incorporation.

As workers built the Central Pacific Railroad from Sacramento to Reno, Truckee became a thriving boomtown. Today, the railroad remains a central part of Truckee’s economic and cultural heritage.

Union Pacific Railroad will be designating Truckee as a Train Town as part of its Train Town USA project at 5pm on the stage in front of the Train Depot in Downtown Truckee.
