All aboard for season's last 'train' ride in park

Posted: 12:00am on Sep 24, 2011; Modified: 9:33am on Sep 26, 2011

This weekend is the last opportunity to ride the J&S Dreamland Express in Kennewick's Columbia Park.

The train, named in honor of James Saunders, a Washington State Patrol trooper killed in the line of duty in 1999 in Pasco, wraps up its 2011 schedule today and Sunday. It runs from 1 to 5:30 p.m. at the Family Fishing Pond on the east end of Columbia Park.

Each ride alongside the Columbia River and through the park lasts 15 to 20 minutes and costs 50 cents for children and $1 for adults.

The train is owned and operated by the Kiwanis Club of the Horse Heaven Hills, and all the proceeds from the train fund projects that benefit children in the Mid-Columbia.
