These things are fun. We're restoring something as good as dead and bringing it back to life.

It belongs in Petaluma, as far as we're concerned.

It was the main transportation system for years, but the automobile put it out of business. It was the way you traveled. You could travel from Sebastopol to Santa Rosa in far less time than it now takes.

Anybody interested can help. We need woodworking, metalworking and paint scraping. The more community involvement the better it will be.

It's in bad shape and will take a complete, major restoration.

After that, we took a deep breath and said we'll never do this again.
