A sad time for railroad preservation
SHUT DOWN! At last night's Yakima City Council meeting, the Council declined to renew our operating agreement 6-1 (only Byers voting in favor), meaning trolley rides and museum events will be suspended at the end of this year.
If you've been cheering us on from the sidelines but haven't gotten involved, let this be the mayday call. 🚨
How you can help today:
1️⃣ Take a Santa Trolley 2025 or Candlelight Trolley 2025 ride the next two weekends. It could be the last chance!
