  National Train Day in Los Angeles
  features The Railroad Braceros Exhibit.

  During World War II, thousands of Mexicans were invited to come to
  the U.S. to work under the “Railroad Braceros” program to build and
  maintain our nation’s passenger railroad system.  At National Train Day
  in Los Angeles’ Union Station, an exhibit will honor the Hispanic
  contributions to the national railroad.  Steve Velasquez, associate
  curator, National Museum of American History, will present on the
  braceros and their role in railroad history.
