In honor of Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks, Caltrains carried as many as two-thousand celebration revelers from all over the Peninsula on the anniversary of Dr. King's birthday.

The Freedom Train, chartered by the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Association of Santa Clara Valley, rolled into San Francisco at 11:25 a.m. spilling a colorful and joyous procession of King disciples.

Upon the Freedom Train's arrival, MUNI buses transported the revelers to the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium where King's legacy was honored and celebrated.
