Dinner Train Ends Tacoma Service

Sad news in the Seattle P-I today that the Spirit of Washington Dinner Train ended service on its new route from Tacoma to Lake Kapowsin, three months after it started.

At this point the equipment - several historic passenger cars and two FP7 locomotives - will be moved to storage outside of Vancouver WA.

I am thankful to have experienced the Dinner Train with my wife several times over the last ten years, however I'm saddened that my sons might not have the opportunity. We're hopeful that a North End Dinner Train will start up between Snohomish and Woodinville, and plans for that are past the talking stage.

Bottom line, we would love to see the big red F Bodies back on the line in some form!
