Member-Only Chat – The Checkered Past of Clark County’s Own Railroad

November 9, 2024 @ 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm PST

Free

The Yakima & Vancouver Railroad? Or is it the Vancouver, Klickitat & Yakima Railroad? I thought the “Y” stood for Yacolt. No, wait, what about the Northwestern Railroad & Improvement Co.? Let’s just go with what we all know it to be now: the Chelatchie Prairie Railroad.

Current members, join us on Saturday, November 9 at 4 PM as Gregg Herrington explores “The Checkered Past of Clark County’s Own Railroad” at this members-only chat. Gregg will delve into how a group of wealthy businessmen with no railroad experience attempted to cross the Cascades by rail, and the obstacles that shifted this lofty ambition into a rural county attraction.
