Rail Perch at Trackside

We saved a lot of really beautiful lumber when we did demo inside the building, and all that careful work, cleaning, de-nailing, and sorting is paying off! Russ built this prep island for the Rail Perch kitchen out of the old building wood! 🤩 This is one of at least two furniture pieces he plans to construct to make the Rail Perch a one-of-a-kind, heritage-centered place to check out!

Every chance we get, we spend a little time putting together the smaller details that are left to finish up the Rail Perch, and it’s really starting to take shape! Next stop, trim and doors.

Our deadline is next month! Déjà vu ….It’s like we’ve been here before. 😆

We’re working hard to get the Rail Perch completed, and the next step is the flooring. We’ve had quite a few inquiries for spring stays, which unfortunately can’t happen yet…for now! We will have as much as we can finished before our Trackside Veterinary Clinic Open House on May 13, from 4:30-6:30. Our first guests are officially scheduled for mid-June.

“The perch” at Rail Perch is officially completed! This upper level balcony has amazing views of the brick street, farms and hillsides across the valley, Woodbine’s infamous corn sculptured grain bin, and the rest of the “front porch” area of our community! 🐦‍⬛

Welcome to our page! We are excited to share our story as one of several amenities linked to Trackside Veterinary Clinic in Woodbine, opening April 2026. As our new veterinary facility undergoes construction, we are simultaneously building Rail Perch on the upper story of our historic building. Rail Perch is a large, open apartment that will be available to rent. We welcome students coming for mentorship at Trackside Veterinary Clinic to stay on site at Rail Perch. We welcome pet families, who may travel far with pets needing overnight hospitalization or early surgery check in times. We welcome foamers (train enthusiasts) and history buffs to experience our railroad heritage at the remodeled 1913 Woodbine Opera House. Finally, we welcome visitors who wish to experience Woodbine from the convenience of the brick street historic district, just down the block from shops, bakeries, restaurants, and community gatherings.
