Commissioners and the library director described strong weekend demand for the El Dorado Western Railroad. Committee member (S4) said recent weekends have filled quickly: "Last Saturday, we were sold out. Tomorrow, we're sold out." Volunteers and staff credited strong public interest and an improving telephone-ticketing operation.
To respond to heat and demand, staff moved the summer runs earlier (9 a.m., 10:30 a.m., noon) and said typical Saturday capacity is about 150 people; they also described planned fall theme days — a train-based clue hunt in September and multiple October pumpkin-patch Saturdays — and said volunteer capacity will determine how many additional runs or events the program can support.
