Railroading demos presented at depot

Published 10:25 am Friday, August 15, 2014

The history of successful railroad construction and maintenance is peppered with fascinating machines. The Northwest Railway Museum has several examples in its collection and Railroad Days is an opportunity to see some of them demonstrated.

You’ll see motor cars, a tie spacer, an automatic spiker, a ballast regulator, and even special cranes that travel on both the railroad and the road.

Demos of the old railroading machines are scheduled for 12:15, 1:15, 2:15 and 3:15 p.m at the Snoqualmie Depot.
