last train to stanwood concert

January 20th, 2009

We want to welcome you aboard the Last Train to Stanwood Concert.  It’s great to see so many of you repeat passengers from the old days – and a lot of you new ones too.    We want to thank all of you and we especially want to thank the Historical Society for bringing back a little of the railroadin past tonight.
 

    The last train to stop at Stanwoodopolis was a third of a century ago.    We were so sure that choo choo wasn’t coming back we tore down the old station depot.
 

     History, they say,  at least for those who are attention deficit, gets repeated.  Well, we’re rebuilding that station this year and the South End and Burlington Northern Line is gonna be stopping once again in historic East Stanwood, playground of Puget Sound. 
 

     So sit back.  The conductor will let you know when we reach your destination.  The bar and smoker cars are open and the dining car is well provisioned.
 

    The past, they say, is prologue…. But tonight, it’s just gonna be prolonged.  Enjoy the ride, ladies and gentlemen.  The last train is coming back!!
