The old 2719 train won’t be coming home to Eau Claire anytime soon.
City leaders last night voted to abandon the effort to bring the historic train back to Eau Claire and use it as a museum piece. Eau Claire bought the train for four dollars back in 2013. But organizers have raised just 500 dollars of the 100- thousand-dollars it would take to get the train back from Minnesota and display it in Eau Claire.
