This sign is attached to the Mt. Hood Railroad Depot.

If you're ever in Hood River, be sure to take time to visit the newly revitalized town, a quaint and trendy shopping district, and explore Hood River with a tour of the downtown historic district, which includes the Railroad, a National Historic Place. The Railroad has served as an economic lifeline for the valley, transporting fruit and forest products to market since 1906. The Mount Hood Railroad's scenic excursion tours now offer visitors breathtaking scenery from Hood River through meadows and orchards to the base of Mt. Hood.
