Farewell to The Dinner Train

We bid a fond farewell to The Spirit of Washington Dinner Train. It has been a Highlands neighborhood fixture since 1992. I have lived in the neighborhood since 1994 and seen many a train go right by. The train is a bit of history, a bit of the past.

When the train goes by, I could always count on a few people hanging out and waving to me. I cannot tell you how many evenings we have sat on our deck and commented on whether the train was full that night.

Here is to a neighborhood pleasure and an icon. I am sorry to see you go. All the best in Tacoma....
