Back in July, the Looking Glass announced that a new excursion railroad route would soon open up. Envisioning five-star dining and old world amenities, the train was to take riders from downtown Tacoma up to Lake Kapowsin.

Unfortunately, this is one train that will be leaving later than thought – if at all.

The hang-up seems to be – as it often is – money. According to Tacoma Weekly, the Tacoma City Council was split about various issues involving the use of public funds to finance the project, as well as the logistics of the tourist excursion itself. Looks like my dream of reliving the orient Express will have to be put on standby.
