The Willapa Hills Trail is a 56-mile long rail-trail that stretches from Chehalis to South Bend, Washington.

We will help you and your bike off the train and send you off on the next leg of your journey. You may choose to continue venturing west on your bike or circle back to the Willapa Hills Trailhead at Hillberger Road, just 1/4 mile from the Chehalis-Centralia Railroad Depot.

Ride Seating
99 Business Car Parlor
The 99 Business Railcar was originally built in 1915 and was converted from a standard sleeping car to a business car for the Spokane, Portland and Seattle (SP&S) railroad in 1926. The car is a fully restored executive coach featuring a climate-controlled parlor that once served as a rolling office and lounge for railroad officials. Upholstered armchairs provide seating for six, and a rear observation platform is perfect for taking in the passing scenery. Originally used for high-level meetings and inspections along the rail line, the 99 now offers passengers a nostalgic glimpse into the golden age of train travel.
99 Business Car Dining Room
The 99 Business Railcar is a luxurious vintage coach built for both comfort & prestige. Once reserved for railroad tycoons, it is now the perfect gathering space for groups of 6-8 to experience what it was like to ride the rails in style.
The car was upgraded in 1959 with all the modern amenities of the time and features original interiors, comfortable seating, and climate control. Featuring two sleeper rooms, two private staterooms and a kitchen area.
Chehalis Centralia Railroad & Museum obtained the car and refurbished it in 2017. With its refined atmosphere and historic charm, the SP&S 99 offers a first-class glimpse into the golden era of rail travel.
