Steam trains to run every weekend in Snoqualmie

Published 4:16 pm Wednesday, July 22, 2015

Steam has returned to the Upper Snoqualmie Valley this summer at the Northwest Railway Museum. The steam train will run every weekend, starting July 25, through Sept. 7, plus Friday, Aug. 14 and Monday, Sept. 7.

Travel back in time to experience firsthand what train travel was like in the late Victorian/early Edwardian period in the Pacific Northwest. Just as those early steam trains did in the 1890s, today’s steam train rides include a trip to view Snoqualmie Falls – from opposite the usual viewing side.

Roundtrip fares are $20 for ages 13 to 61, $18 for ages 62 and older, $12 for ages 2 to 12 and kids under 2 ride free.

Steam train excursions which include the Museum’s premier tour package of the Train Shed exhibit building are available on Saturdays at 12:30 pm.

The Snoqualmie Depot, exhibits and Depot Bookstore are open to the public 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily.
