Hundreds of people hopped on board Saturday for Union Pacific's Operation Lifesaver Excursion.
The event started at 9:30 Saturday morning with the first train chugging along from Altoona to Chippewa Falls.
In the afternoon another train went from Altoona to Elk Mound.

Each train ride lasted just under two hours.
