Clark wanted me to pass this on to you:
I was recently advised that the work has commenced on the reconstruction of the Nisqually River bridge at Park Junction. This work is scheduled to continue through the summer and into early fall. Tacoma Rail operations and Mount Rainier Scenic will then have access to Morton and Elbe respectively.
If you havent had the opportunity to ride the old Tacoma Eastern, you should definately take the Train to Trek ride from Tacoma to Eatonville. The trip is about an hour and a half long with interpretation provided on the way. The train stops at Eatonville where buses take you to Northwest Trek for lunch and a Trek tram experience through the wilderness. Check the calendar page for dates and go to the Northwest Trek website for ticket ordering information.
