Cascade Rail Foundation’s Station Sign Project team is gearing up for a busy year in 2025. Since 2020, our volunteers have been fabricating and installing three-quarter size replica Milwaukee Road style station signs at their historic locations along the Palouse to Cascades State Park Trail.
Washington State Parks interpretive specialists are wrapping up the design work for ordering 19 interpretive signs for the South Cle Elum Rail Yard Interpretive Trail.
