Train aficionados may want to make a stop at Santa Fe Deport on Saturday for National Train Day events.

National Train Day commemorates the anniversary of the completion of the Transcontinental Railroad. The famed golden spike was hammered into the 1,776-mile railroad May 10, 1869 at Promontory Summit, Utah.

Visitors to Santa Fe Depot, which is home to the San Bernardino History and Railroad Museum, can expect to see a BNSF locomotive, model trains, kiddie rides and information related to Inland Empire rail projects.

The event is scheduled to be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday at Santa Fe Depot, 1170 West Third Street.
