On April 30th, 2025, hours after the purchase of the railway was confirmed, the Mt. Rainier Scenic crew got word that the 28-span wood trestle connecting Mineral and Morton was burning.

It was the key to reopening freight and passenger service to Morton—work we've been making real progress on. That span carried more than trains. It carried the weight of our financial stability, our plans for local industry, and the future of the communities we serve.

We've fought for every inch of progress with sweat, sacrifice, and no shortage of stress. And this—this hurts. We've cried, a lot. We're tired. And we're angry. Because let's be clear: bridges do not spontaneously combust. Someone did this. Whether through recklessness or malice, someone set i
