RIDING THE RAILS
Saturday April 25 2009
All Aboard!!!!
Join us for a special adventure on the Broadway Trolley from Lake Oswego to Willamette Park; trade your rubber for some steel to ride the rails into town.
We'll be winding our way from Lake Oswego to John's Landing, past Powers Marine Park, two high trestles, including the 686 foot long Riverwood Trestle, continuing through the 1,396 foot long Elk Rock Tunnel, making a gradual "S" curve between the portals, creating almost total darkness at midpoint. While we're having dinner at the Old Spaghetti Factory, the trolley will be kept warm and cozy for our return ride back to the Lake Oswego station.
DATE: Saturday 25 April 2009
TIME: Boarding at 1:30pm. Trolley leaves the station promptly at 2:00pm.
MEETUP: State Street Station - Lake Oswego (directions below)
