Western Pacific Tour Guide
My dad has been tossing around this idea as long as I can remember, and I think I've just about gotten to the point where I will start working on it. Here's my initial outline for a tour book for the WPRM:
- Welcome to the Museum - perhaps written by the President
- Intro to safety on museum grounds - the WPRM is a real live operating museum
- History of the WP
- History of the WP and connecting railroads/ subsidiaries - KCC, Sacramento Northern, CCT, etc
- History of the WPRM
- Urge guests to either become a member of the FRRS or take advantage of our Rent a Locomotive program
- Complete WP diesel locomotive roster - list of all models, road numbers, and pages for examples of each model
- A ~1 page profile on each of at least the locomotives on property. This would be very similar to the roster already put together on the website.
- Places to eat in and around Portola
- Other places to go/ see in and around Portola
