Mount Hood railroad
Monday, September 15, 2008 | No comments posted.
HOOD RIVER (AP) — The Mount Hood Railroad is running again in the Hood River Valley after a two-year, $1 million repair project to fix part of the track washed out by flooding in 2006.
A new dome car was added in the process.
The railroad began bringing fruit and timber products to market in the area in 1906 and was used for a time as a commuter line. It began as a tourist attraction about 20 years ago.
It runs from Hood River to the base of Mount Hood.
It carries about 70,000 passengers a year and contributes about $7 million annually to the local economy.
