Railroad offers 13-mile round trip excursion on Saturday and Sunday
YACOLT — The Chelatchie Prairie Railroad kicks off its 2018 season on Saturday and Sunday, May 12 and 13.
Area residents can celebrate Mother’s Day Weekend with a train ride for the whole family. The railroad offers a 13-mile round trip starting in Yacolt and meandering through the logging and farming country of North Clark County — stopping at Moulton Station to visit Yacolt Falls. Along the way, riders will cross the Lewis River, see views from a cliff-side vantage point and experience the thrill of riding through a 330-foot long tunnel blasted out of solid rock.
The train departs at noon and 2:30 p.m. from the station in Yacolt. Patrons are asked to arrive at least 30 minutes prior to departure. Reservations are recommended as space is limited.
Tickets for this diesel run are $16 per person, $15 for seniors, $11 for children age five to 12, and $9 for little ones two to four. Babies up to age two are free.
To buy tickets and reserve a spot on this popular and scenic train ride, visit www.bycx.com or call (360) 686-3559.
