The train is a partnership between Parks & Recreation and three local branches of the Kiwanis Club – Kiwanis Club of Colonial Capital Williamsburg, the Kiwanis Club of Toano and the Kiwanis Club of Williamsburg. The Kiwanis Clubs applied for and received grants totaling $25,000 to fund this community project that could provide year-round, family friendly entertainment.
