Participants of the 21st annual celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday board the train in San Mateo to head north to more gatherings in the civil rights icon’s honor.
The Caltrain NorCalMLK Celebration Train will make its way up the Peninsula from San Jose to San Francisco on Monday, Jan. 20.
The Celebration Train will provide free service for those who wish to attend the annual observance of the life and legacy of Dr. King in San Francisco hosted by the Northern California Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Community Foundation (NorCalMLK). There will be onboard activities for those in attendance during the trip, including a free giveaway for the children.
Attendees must register in advance to receive a free Celebration Train commemorative ticket. This free train ride, which pays tribute to the 54-mile 1965 Selma to Montgomery March, is a great way to get to the MLK march and events in San Francisco.
The chartered train will depart from the San Jose Diridon Caltrain Station at 9:20 a.m. It will make stops at Palo Alto Station at 9:45 a.m., the southbound platform of San Mateo Station at 10:02 a.m. and Millbrae Station at 10:08 a.m. before arriving in San Francisco by 10:27 a.m. There is no special southbound service, however, Celebration Train tickets will be accepted on southbound trains departing San Francisco after 1 p.m. that same day.
Caltrain will operate a modified service schedule for the holiday on Monday, Jan. 20. For more information on the annual MLK celebrations hosted by NorCalMLK visit sfmlkday.org.
