As we start into what we like to call our "fall season" ....we want to once again thank the five businesses that have sponsored with us this year to help bring steam train rides to our area of WV. We are still hoping for a few more business sponsors to make donations to keep us going into our Christmas season! Expenses have went up for everyone this year and that includes us! Our season has been steady, but a bit slower than normal and we sure could use some more financial support through donations! If you know a business who would like to make a donation, please share! We will put a sign up and give you lots of publicity and gratitude! We will have train rides as usual tomorrow August 19th at 7pm and 7:30pm, please arrive by 7:25pm so our crew will know if they need to do an extra run! We also have a private ride at 6:30pm and usually have a few of these throughout the fall, so dont be surprised if the train is out the track when you arrive! We want to thank everyone who made our summertime runs and look forward to our cozy, fall season at the LH&WRR! Come see us after the first day of school tomorrow! 🚂🍁📓📚🍂
