Happy Thanksgiving! 🍁 We are so incredibly thankful for our amazing volunteers who continue to come out and help us prepare for the festive season and keep our fall Heritage Hopper train rides running. From decorating for Christmas and hanging lights, to working on the train, visiting at the market booth, continuing steam restoration, and working on heritage train cars, we couldn’t do it without you. Your dedication and hard work bring the history of the Waterloo Spur to life.
