And on September 1 the train will be pulled by an 1882 steam-powered locomotive!

The impetus for a National Grandparents Day originated in 1978 with Marian McQuade, a housewife in Fayette County, West Virginia.  Her primary motivation was to champion the cause of lonely elderly in nursing homes.  She also hoped to persuade grandchildren to tap the wisdom and heritage their grandparents could provide.
