BIG things happened in our rail yard today! We took ownership of a former Santa Fe passenger car. Made possible by a joint agreement between NW Railway Museum and the Chehalis Centralia Railroad. Special thanks to our teams led by Richard Anderson, Bill Deutscher, Richard Tausch and Scott Hutton. Many others played a supporting role. We are grateful for the safe operations.
