OSHKOSH, Wis. (WFRV) - Community members in Oshkosh are hoping that a beloved train hasn't made its final loop around Menominee Park.  City of Oshkosh Parks and Recreation officials said they didn't budget this year to keep the Menominee Park train chugging along after about 40 years of operation in the park. "It's definitely something that our advisory partners, our parks board, and our common council didn't take lightly as we took a look at the history of the operation here," said Oshkosh Parks & Recreation Director Ray Maurer. He said that there were several reasons why they had to discontinue operations on the train. The train has its own account and the idea was that revenue would cover operational and capital costs but that hasn't happened.

This includes repairs to the tracks and the construction of a new on-site storage facility for the train. Maurer said that adequately staffing the train has become difficult as well. City officials said they tried to change the hours of operations and the number of months the train was operational to maximize revenues. However, they said this wasn't enough to cover their expenses and capital costs for the train. The city will also discontinue kayak and aqua bike rentals in the lagoon in Menominee Park next to the train tracks. Maurer said that the lagoon gets overgrown with lily pads and other vegetation which limits the months they can offer these recreational opportunities. Some community members in Oshkosh aren't letting the train go without a fight. A senior at Oshkosh West High School named Adrea Matulle started a GoFundMe to raise money to try to save the train. "I always used to be so fond of it as a kid, I'd be like can we go ride the train today," Matulle told Local 5 News. "What comes to my mind is the history and the memories that it holds within the community." Maurer said saving the train is a bit more complicated than just simply raising $50,000. He said that while the city is open to options it'll ultimately come down to finding a long-term funding source for the train.

"It resonated with me because it's part of my community and I wanted to help in any way shape or form," she said. "I think we as a community can band together and keep the train on track." The train had run in the park for about 40 years and used to be part of a larger group of amusement park rides.
