The March 2021 SV&W Clinic will be “The Railway that Ran by the Tides” a history of the narrow gauge Ilwaco Railway and Navigation Co. presented by Oysterville resident and railroad enthusiast/modeler Mark Clemmens. The IR&N was a 36” gauge railroad that ran along what is now called the Long Beach Peninsula from the mouth of the Columbia River to the northern terminus at Nahcotta from 1888 to 1930. It was the longest lasting narrow gauge railroad in Washington and one of the most unique lines in the nation at the time. Join us on Zoom for this special presentation.

Will be joining the Zoom Meeting and look forward to hearing about this little short line. I vaguely recall seeing a coach or two used as summer cabins and small shops on the peninsula back in the 50s and 60s. Also the rail was still buried in the asphalt near Black Lake.
