Celebrate Mother's Day with
Brunch on a Scenic Train
People looking for a fun way to celebrate Mother’s Day might
find the answer in a scenic train ride. Mother's Day, Sunday, May
8, is opening day for the Eagle Cap Excursion Train's 2016
season and offers an excellent opportunity to enjoy a delicious
brunch while viewing the beautiful spring scenery along the
Grande Ronde and Wallowa Rivers. The many shades of green
and colorful wild flowers in May make it an especially scenic time
of year in the canyons.
The Mother's Day trip features brunch, served on the train
during the trip and prepared this year by Chuckwagon Sisters
Catering of Enterprise. The menu includes a wonderful selection
of egg and meat entrée items, fresh pastries, fruit and beverages.
The train departs at 10 a,m., Mother's Day, from the depot in
Elgin.
“We have small gifts for the oldest mother and the mother who
has traveled the furthest to ride,” said Ed Spaulding, President
of the Friends. “This is always a fun trip and we are anxious to
get the new season under way, having worked all winter to
prepare.”
This is a popular trip, so reservations are required, Tickets are
available through the online booking service on the website,
www.eaglecaptrainrides.com; go to “Ride the Train” and select
“Book Online” from the drop-down menu. Or, talk to an agent by
booking through Alegre Travel, the excursion train reservations
agency, 800.323.7380 or train@alegretravel.com. Alegre Travel
«- agents can also, upon request, book motel rooms and offer
advice on other activities and attractions in the area.
The historic Joseph Branch, now known as the Wallowa Union
Railroad, was rescued from salvage in 2003 when the Wallowa
and Union county governments formed the Wallowa Union Rail
Authority and purchased the highly scenic railroad between Elgin
and Joseph. Passenger train excursions use the section of track
from Elgin to Minam. Volunteers with the Friends of the Joseph
Branch, a 501 (c)3 non-profit organization, assist the rail authority
with operating the train, hosting passengers, restoring the rail
care and preserving the history of the railroad. See the web site,
www.eaglecaptrainrides.com for the full 2016 excursion schedule
and information about how to join the Friends and volunteer to
assist with train activities.
