This central Washington town was
one home to a electrified Interurban which has electric freight service
up until the 1980's. Currently there is a trolley operation on a portion
of the original system. The line to Selah was shutdown due to wire
theft. Trolleys operate on weekends during the summer
months.
This page should probably be more with the
Transit/Railroad Museum page, but there is a chance this could be a
tourist circulator if extended towards downtown.
