More on the Wallowa River Steelhead Train: "We Brake for Fish"

MidCurrent dug up this great story a while ago (naturally, we stole his content for our own nefarious purposes).

Now there’s more on the steelhead fishing train from New West.

If you’ve forgotten, the steelhead train runs ten miles along the Wallowa River, and fishers are dropped off and picked up on a regular schedule.

Finally, train technology put to good use. From MidCurrent:

We first mentioned the Wallowa River Canyon fishing train back in January (read “Fast Train to Steelhead”), and this month New West‘s Bill Schneider gives his take on the fanciful service, which lasts through the end of this month. “Fleser keeps careful track of his customers so leaves nobody behind, and he keeps a strict schedule. When the whistle blows three times, you better be on the train–unless you have a fish on, of course. ‘We brake for fish,’ Fleser admits.”
