Restore the Latrobe Breakfast Special!
In July of 2011, the
non-profit organization Placerville & Sacramento Valley Railroad
(P&SVRR) brought passenger rail service to the El Dorado County town of
Latrobe for the first time since 1958!
These excursions allowed P&SVRR to offer a variety of rides to the
public, the most popular of which was the “Latrobe Breakfast Special”. This unique train ride supported the
monthly pancake breakfast fundraiser held the last Sunday of each month at the
Latrobe Community Hall.
In May of 2012 the Right of
Entry that allowed P&SVRR to conduct these excursions was suspended by El
Dorado County, under pressure from a group of trails advocates.
The current Board of
Supervisors, however, has indicated support for a Rails WITH Trails strategy
for the entire rail corridor, consistent with the Parks and Recreation
Commission's 2012 recommendation to the Board. To that end, P&SVRR has been asked to bring a presentation
regarding the reinstatement of the “Latrobe Breakfast Special” to the following
committees for their review and recommendations:
Trails Advisory Committee – May 13th, 3:00
pm
SPTC Oversight Committee – May 13th, 6:00
pm
Parks and Recreation Commission – May 16th,
10:00 am
(for meeting locations

The volunteers of the
P&SVRR strongly encourage the public to attend these meetings, providing
input from the community, as the Board of Supervisors will be making a decision
on this issue in the very near future.
