Depot & Railyard projects need your financial backing to buy materials, promote our efforts and to keep the lights on, among other restoration and operating expenses.
The Cascade Rail Foundation members invite you to join in supporting our ongoing efforts to establish a major rail interpretive site at the South Cle Elum railyard. Your contribution will be used to help rehabilitate the depot, substation and establish a significant museum and interpretive trail for public enjoyment. All contributions are appreciated, and any that are $35 and over include a year's membership in the Cascade Rail Foundation and can be tax-deductible (consult with your tax professional.) See the donation level schedule at the right to learn of other perks. The Cascade Rail Foundation is a Washington state non-profit 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization.
