The Hobo Inn in Elbe,
Washington
In 1987, our family owned and
operated business began riding
on the rails from a start by
elder Thurston, who built his
business from a popcorn stand on
a street corner right here in
Elbe, WA. We’ve expanded to
include a caboose motel (The
Hobo Inn), a gift shop, the
Cascadian Dinner Train and a
restaurant and lounge where you
can wet your whistle, leaving
you saying, “Sorry honey, I got
side-tracked.” So for you
railroad buffs, the Cascadian
Dinner Train, best known as the
American Freedom Train, once
toured the country with 26 cars
displaying over 500 treasures of
Americana. Whether you’re
here for the scenery, the
history or just plain here for
the food, you re now one of
many, including President Ford,
that get to experience the
exciting ambience of our
delightful trains.
