This Month, June 20-22, the Make-A-Wish Foundation, in partnership with West Coast Railroaders Group, Amtrak, BLE Division 144,and the Virginia & Truckee railroad will host a special wish for an 8 year old boy from Jackson, Missouri. Jonathan has a serious heart condition, and loves trains. His wish was to ride the head end over Donner pass on Amtrak's California Zephyr. His wish will be granted starting Friday, June 20th. Jonathan will board Amtrak #6 at Sacramento, and ride to Reno in the cab of the locomotive. Jonathan and his family will then spend the weekend on the Virginia & Truckee railroad. Saturday Jonathan will ride the cab of the steam train, and Sunday he will ride along on vintage track cars providing fire patrol behind the steam train.

We are asking everyone who lives in Northern California and Nevada to please come out track side and cheer on Jonathan as he gets this trip of a lifetime. Come out to Sacramento, Reno, or Virginia City and give him a wave. We would like to have people photograph his trip along the way also.

Thanks in advance,

Ken WCRG
