The Northern Pacific Railway Museum of Toppenish, Washington is a collection of old dreams. Dreams of commerce and communication. Dreams of metal and machinery. Dreams of luxury sleeper cars and Great Baked Potatoes.
Then someone else had a dream to make the other dreams available for public consumption. The Toppenish railroad depot was resurrected on a dream foundation. Then they dreamt of keeping the line alive.
Someone else smelled money and dreamed of mansions and nice cars and beautiful women and hot sex. The dream was shattered for a nightmare of greed. A nightmare of political maneuvering. A nightmare of collusion on the part of for-profit motives and corrupt county commissioners. A nightmare that attempted to wipe away the other dreams for its own sake. A nightmare in dream's clothing.
