In this episode, we chat with Trevor Park, the Executive Director of the Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad. Trevor’s journey to the helm of one of the Pacific Northwest’s most iconic heritage railroads is as fascinating as the trains themselves, and he joins us to share the grit, the grease, and the glory of steam preservation.

Trevor pulls back the curtain on the surprising statistics behind their operation, sharing the incredible volume of visitors they welcome every year that keeps the local economy moving.
