PRAIRIE DOG CENTRAL IS GAINING STEAM
PDC is picking up steam and officials with the heritage railway are hoping it remains on track in 201. Nearly 10,000 visitors purchased tickets for the historic steam engine last year. That followed a 2008 season that saw
a huge surge in ridership, including 13,621 riders for 2 week period during a promotion featuring Thomas the Tank Engine. Those totals are in stark contrast numbers prior to 2008 when annual ridership dipped as
low as 6,000.
The recent turnaround coincided with a shift in the way it is marketed. Organizers began promoting it as unique
entertainment venue and offering special events such as murder mysteries and Halloween rides.The challenge
now is to keep that mementum going and ensure the organization remains on track for years to come.
