Dinner Train From Tacoma!

The Spirit of Washington Dinner Train revealed today that they will use Tacoma as a new base for train excursions.

Deputy Mayor Rick Talbert Councilman Bill Evans and Spirit of Washington Dinner Train Owner Eric Temple announced that the Spirit of Washington Dinner Train will begin running trains to Lake Kapowsin as early as August 3.

Trains will run seven days a week. The program will run for 10 months and—if successful—there’s a possibility to extend it another 20 years.

This will be an interesting test of the viability of runnings sight-seeing, vacation excursions from Tacoma. All aboard!
